      • The last two pages of Beloved, serve turn one view on Beloved in to positive lighting, after the plot of the book as just destroyed the readers opion of her—instead portraying her as selfish and manipulative.
      • The first paragraph describes the loneliness that Beloved feels throughout the story. Beloved loneliness “rocks” in the sense that dispite her moving in reality she is not anywhere (because she is so disconnected). The book emplies and it seems these last two pages serve to semment the fact that Beloved was dead at some point but that she did not finish the processe of dying—suggesting that there are different levels of death. Because of this she is destine to roam the world is isolation.
      • The last two pages of beloved serves to change one's view of beloved from negative into a positive lighting. Throughout the plot of the story beloved is depicted as selfish and manipulative. These two pages not only touch on key themes throughout the story but also demonstrate how beloved actions could be seen in a beneficial way to the community.
      • The first paragraph describes the loneliness that beloved feels throughout the story. Beloved loneliness rocks in the sense that despite her continually moving from place to place in reality she is not anywhere because she is so disconnected from the people surrounding her due to her lack of identity. Throughout the book is implied and it seems that the last two pages cements the fact beloved was dead at some point but that she did not finish the process of dying suggesting that there at different stages of death.. Because she died and then came back to life it seems she is destined to roam the world in isolation. Isolation is another ignore that that appears throughout the book.. But while reading the book one always thinks of Sethe, Denver, and Paul D. being the lonely ones, this is the first time that beloved appears to be the one who truly lives in isolation.

    12. Why Semantic Mapping?
      • It makes lectures more interesting.
      • Semantic maps explicitly show connections between ideas.
      • Graphic organizers give students an alternative way of demonstrating their understanding of the relationship between events, people, ideas, and themes.
      • They give visual thinkers a way to brainstorm and organize their ideas.
      • They give visual learners a hook for remembering information and vocabulary.
    13. But You Said Zero Prep!
      • It takes no longer than writing any other kind of notes.
      • There are so many templates on Inspiration’s website and online you do not need to create anything new.
      • For older students all you need to do is teach them to use it and send them on their way…oh wait you do not need to teach them how to use the software. Let us take a look.
    14. Ok, So Some Instruction is Required
