Chrysanthemum
1.
Comment on the kind of communication that
exists between Henry and Elisa based on his
comments on her appearance.
2.
What is the dark speck in the road, and how does
it get there?
3.
Is Elisa aware of the importance of her need to
communicate with her husband? If so, how does
the reader know?
Do you agree?
“The Chrysanthemums" is a story about communication in a marriage that is not
unhappy but does have its limitations. Neither Elisa nor Henry can explain the
psychological aspects of their relationship, but the author suggests that Elisa needs
more than the marriage offers. She is lonely; she finds more joy and fulfillment in
planting her flowers and being close to the earth than she does in her marriage.
Today you will be reading closely and analytically, and demonstrating effective
speaking and listening skills for a range of purposes.
Should they stay together?
➢
One half the class is going to
read... This Emotional Life

part. I prefer them in the margins and complete
sentences.
The other half is going to read…Why
Long Married Couples Split
➢

Get together to discuss
Your groups need to have a leader, time keeper, scribe, materials master
and two who will present. (write it on a post-it note)
Task 1: Go over the two texts! Someone in your group should give a brief summary of each article
verbally.
Task 2:To come up with a claim or argument about why Elisa and Henry should either stay together
in their marriage or they should get a divorce.
Task 3: Create a poster with a web and in the middle will be your claim. Then five branches that will
prove to us what they should do. Use text based evidence from story and your articles.
Task 4: Two members will come up and present the information you came up with to support your
claim or thesis.
Homework
Can you think of any situation that might have had a better outcome if methods of
communication were improved? Consider a situation you’ve observed or experienced
in which efforts to improve communication have had good results. Examples might
involve the use of an apology, constructive criticism, praise, or an explanation.
Write a one—page composition, first presenting a
situation, next describing What happened, and then
explaining whether communication could have been improved
and, if so, how.
