In this class, we talked a little more about K-pop and about the band, CN Blue, and their song "Loner". Then we talked about heroes and villains and about some physical characteristics of some popular heroes and villains (Frodo Baggins, Saruman, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Snow White, and the Wicked Queen). We talked about a movie in which we found ourselves cheering for the villains ("Ocean's 11") and about a movie in which the villain comes extremely close to winning ("Fracture"). Then, we read an article ("Characters Larger than Life") and talked about some vocabulary.
Vocabulary:
pirate --> a person who goes to sea on a ship, hijacks other ships, steals from other ships, kidnaps people, and sometimes kills people. Pirates are not a common occurrance anymore.
hijack --> to take forceful control of a an airplane, vehicle, or ship.
witch --> usually a woman, makes potions and says spells to perform some kind of magic
wizard --> usually a man, performs magic
robe --> a long dress-like piece of clothing (but it is not a dress-- both men and women can wear robes)
Frodo --> the name of the main character in the book/movie, "Lord of the Rings". In Old English, "frodo" means "wise".
greedy --> like selfish, the quality of a person who wants to have everything for him- or herself
capture --> trap, catch
dress up --> (1) to wear nicer clothes for a special occasion; (2) to put on a costume for Halloween or some other costume event
unique --> very different, not like anyone or anything else
band of _______ --> a group of ________; there is a popular TV show called "Band of Brothers". If you like movies or shows about war, then you should check out this TV show.
We also talked a little about Halloween costumes, and I told the class that next time, I would bring the children's story, "The Paperbag Princess", by Robert Munsch so I could show them my costume idea (which I'm not going to do in Mongolia because I think October in Mongolia will be too cold for this costume).
