One major activity in class was to begin creating a chart in which to log the various instances where heat and fire play a significant role in the story.
The class also began a chart for each month (chapter). The chart lists the foods that play a role in that chapter, the most obviously significant symbols in that month's section, and any themes that are revealed. For example
January
Food:
Christmas Rolls
Onions
sausage
chile
salt
Symbols:
crying
heat
birth
Themes:
love
sadness
mother v. daughter
passion
The class also took time to consider what questions might be asked in a quiz on the first months of the book.
