June 16


In case you left your copy at school, June Novel : the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime

Homework: Please complete 1 or 2 options.

Option 1: Please answer 2 of the 4 questions below. 

Option 2: Please answer all 4 questions below. 

Questions: 
  1. What does Christopher learn from Mrs. Alexander in this section?  Does this information help him solve the mystery, or is it merely disturbing to him?
  2. Knowing what you now know, can you agree with Christopher and Ed (Chris’s father) that Mr. Shears is a bad person? Does he make sense as a suspect?
  3. Christopher describes the “Monty Hall” math problem on pp. 64-5 and he provides us with a description of clouds on pp. 67-9. To what extent are these digressions (un)related to the story? What do these digressions tell us about Christopher? Why might the author have chosen to include them?
  4. What does the “Monty Hall” problem prove about math, contrary to what Mr. Jeavons has said?  Why do you suppose Christopher likes this conclusion?
