‘The Little Prince’ - Conclusion - Socratic Seminar
December 6th, 2009 by Humanities 8 Journey
And now that you have read Chapters XXIV - XXVII, what are your thoughts on the conclusion to the novel and the overall effect of the author’s purpose in writing the story? Be ready to share your ideas about these kinds of questions in a Socratic Seminar. Also be ready to discuss ideas on symbolism, theme, writer’s style, and personal connections to the novel.
Here’s a scene from the movie, ‘The James Dean Story’ (James Dean was a famous young Hollywood star of the 1950’s - he is portrayed by another actor in this movie.) As portrayed, James Dean makes references to The Little Prince and the fox, a character that appeared a little earlier in the story. But you can see how the actor portraying James Dean is trying to convey the effect the story had on him. What effect did the story have on you? We’ll find out during our Socratic Seminar!

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery
November 26th, 2009 by Humanities 8 Journey
Now that you have read several chapters of the class novel, create a post at your blog on two or more topics related to Chapters I - XV. Do less summarizing and more interpreting what aspects of the story mean to you as well as evaluating the effectiveness of the author’s writing style. You can also include a topic for your blog post that is based on the information you read in the Introduction section of the novel. Here are some topics that you can choose from:
1. information about the author - from the Introduction section of the novel - or information you have found on your own
2. the author’s style of writing (e.g., choice of narrator, possible theme, writer’s voice)
3. the interaction between the pilot and the little prince (e.g., drawing a sheep)
4. the little prince’s planet (e.g., baobabs, volcanoes, sunsets)
5. the rose and her relationship with the little prince
6. one or more of the adults the little prince meets (i.e., Chs. X - XV)
7. a topic you think of that relates to Chs. I - XV and/or the author!
Include one or more images (or video clips) for your blog post.
Here are a couple of video clips that relate to the novel.
The full title of this video is ‘The Little Prince and the Complex Semiotic Aspects of Non-Verbal Modern Day Communication’ (created by university students in Bulgaria).
This video is a rap song created by some high school students in Los Angeles.
