"Trial of Thomas Build-the-Fire" Questions

*Why was Thomas put in jail (other than the conviction of murder from 1858)?
*What is the purpose of this story? Use textual evidence to support your answer. (Don't ask if this means write a TIQA para, assume if you are using evidence that you are writing one, ALWAYS)
*Re-Read the last full paragraph of the story.  Interpret it and use it to answer this question: How does this story show the ideas of culture and Cultural Encounters and Frontiers? (you can also give more details than just from the last paragraph)
Go back to the Alexie/Spokane Tribe reading from the other day, then do what these two prompts are telling you to do:
***Pick four pieces of textual evidence from the packet (a word, phrase, sentence or a few sentences) and react to it while connecting it to the short story. While connecting, explain how the textual evidence gives you a deeper understanding of something from the story, and be specific as to what it is. (Do this on a separate sheet of paper) 
***How does this information (graphs and data) overall enhance your understandings of “The Trial of Thomas Builds-the-Fire”? 

*When done, turn in to folder in the crate and work on your myth or read your independent reading book. 
We'll talk about the Peer Evaluation process once most are done with these questions.
