96 CHARACTER
Sourdi's husband had to go. We followed him
to the driveway. My
sister kissed him before he climbed into his Buick. He
rolled down the Win
dow, and she leaned in and kissed him again.
I turned away. I watched Duke standing in the
doorway, holding the
baby in his arms, cooing at its face. In his tough wannabe clothes, the super.
wide jeans and his fancy sneakers and the chain from his wallet to his belt
loops, he looked surprisingly young.
Sourdi lent us some blankets and matching his-and-hers Donald and Daisy
Duck sweatshirts for the trip back, since our coats were still wet and worthless.
"Don't tell Ma I was here, O.K.?" I begged Sourdi. "We'll be home by
afternoon. She'll just think I'm with friends or something. She doesn't have
to know, O.K.
Sourdi pressed her full lips together into a thin line and nodded in a way
that seemed as though she were answering a different question. And I knew
that I couldn't trust my sister to take my side anymore.
As we pulled away from Sourdi's house, the first icy snowflakes began to
fall across the windshield.
Sourdi stood in the driveway with the baby on her hip. She waved to us
as the snow swirled around her like ashes.
She had made her choice, and she hadn't chosen me.
Sourdi told me a story once about a magic serpent, the Naga, with a mouth
so large, it could swallow people whole. Our ancestors carved Naga into the
stones of Angkor Wat to scare away demons. Sourdi said people used to
believe they could come alive in times of great evil and protect the temples.
They could eat armies.
I wished I was a Naga. I would have swallowed the whole world in one gulp. 230
But I have no magic powers. None whatsoever.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR CRITICAL THINKING AND WRITING
1. FIRST RESPONSE. How does your response to Nea develop over thecourse of the story? Is she a dynamic or a static character?
2. Explain how Nea and Sourdi serve as character foils to one another.3. Discuss whether you think Duke is a flat or a round character.4. What is the effect of the story's being told from Nea's perspective? Howmight the story be different ifit were told from the mother's point ofview?5. Do you think Mr. Chhay is a good or bad husband?6. How does the information about Nea and Sourdi's trip through theminefield affect your understanding of Nea's relationship with her sister?7. Comment on the title. Why wouldn't an alternative like "Nea theTroublemaker" be appropriate?
8. CONNECTION To ANOTHER SELECTION. Compare the characterization ofNea in "saving Sourdi" and ofSammy in John Updike's "A & P" (p. 149).
In what sense do both characters see themselves as rescuers?

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
