A Long, Long Time Ago & Essentially True - Group Work #1 Chapts. 9-14

My first group work on Brigid Pasulka's novel - I try to have the students bring together the two separate narratives and to connect them to the life of Baba Yaga.  In other words, how the past and the future of Poland are also a force working on her character as well.  Specifically, I ask the students to tie one chapter to the next (the past and present stories alternate in the novel) - and then ask them to find specific connections that extend across those pages.
