The Pearl Outer Circle Padlet 6th Period by Beth Paul

Great Way to Start

149083_1 — 2025-05-08 18:43:08 UTC

This was a great idea to start with as it brought a strong idea and people added an idea that was similar to his.

1398732 — 2025-05-08 18:43:37 UTC

I liked the use of the word 'powerless' and how Shrey added that Kino was up against a world that was already against him.

140675_6 — 2025-05-08 18:43:57 UTC

I thought that this comment was thoughtful because he connected back to Harshit's idea with another point that continued the discussion.

141980_3 — 2025-05-08 18:44:13 UTC

Shrey spoke very clearly and gave a great point to the conversation about people going against keno.

173729_12 — 2025-05-08 18:44:16 UTC

She does a great way to use symbolism to express her ideas and she explained her answer very clearly.

179677_3 — 2025-05-08 18:44:22 UTC

Started the seminar with a great question. Clearly explained his thoughts regarding the question, and used evidence effectively to explain his point.

Build on

162119_10 — 2025-05-08 18:45:00 UTC

Her explanation was very well thought out and well explained

137807_3 — 2025-05-08 18:45:10 UTC

Bhavinis question about how the author uses nature to represent things. I liked this idea because it brought a different idea that makes you really think about it.

1457518 — 2025-05-08 18:45:13 UTC

She added on to Shrey's on idea of Kino's Greed of the Pearl supporting Shrey's arguement more

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 18:45:28 UTC

Built on Shrey's speech about how everyone was against Kino. Provided additional information from the book. She explained evidence clearly.

1873518 — 2025-05-08 18:45:33 UTC

I appreciate how Bhavini included details about symbolism from the book. She talked about how the book symbolized the book characters' fates and it led to a larger interest for the book.

Went Back to an Idea

149083_1 — 2025-05-08 18:45:41 UTC

I thought going back to the idea that was said and adding on to it was a great way to add on to the conversation of the seminar.

1398732 — 2025-05-08 18:45:49 UTC

I found Hannah's response very well-explained. It was spoken very clearly, and although I didn't read the pearl, I found her explanation clear in the fact that even Kino's wife was against him.

141980_3 — 2025-05-08 18:46:09 UTC

Alex made a great add on to the conversation saying he would do anything including hitting his wife just to keep the pearl.

New Question

179677_3 — 2025-05-08 18:46:18 UTC

Introduced a new question with a good answer and effective evidence, continuing the seminar with a new topic to speak about.

173729_12 — 2025-05-08 18:46:23 UTC

Great Open-Ended question to get the mind going and he had very good thoughts on how The Pearl changed throughout the book.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 18:46:40 UTC

Spoke about how the Pearl creates greed and how it isn't wise to keep it around. Spoke with a nice explanation.

1457518 — 2025-05-08 18:46:47 UTC

Sri thinks that the Pearl was not beneficial and greed and the Pearls destructive nature which seems interesting.

140675_6 — 2025-05-08 18:46:48 UTC

I thought this comment was well-explained cause he used a direct quote and built off of that to explain his point of how Kino valued the pearl over his wife.

172064_11 — 2025-05-08 18:47:20 UTC

Harshit introduces a detailed idea about an example of people connecting and for the wrong purpose of deception.

139092_6 — 2025-05-08 18:47:28 UTC

The question he showed was very thought out and added to the discussion. I also like how he showed the problems with the pearl and how greed caused people to be hurt.

1873518 — 2025-05-08 18:47:58 UTC

I appreciate how Rishi articulated his question well. Rishi spoke loud and clear and he used many good evidences and his explanations were thorough.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 18:48:02 UTC

Spoke about how hannah knew about the danger of the Pearl and advised Kino not to have the Pearl.

162119_10 — 2025-05-08 18:48:06 UTC

His explanation about Hina and the fact that he used a quote from the book shows that he was very thoughtful about this

174093_5 — 2025-05-08 18:48:17 UTC

He does a great job of using evidence from the text to express how the songs mentioned in the book acted as symbolism.

184851_11 — 2025-05-08 18:48:20 UTC

I think Sri was very prepared because he not only used textual evidence, but also seemed like he knew what he was talking about, because he did not just read out of his notes, but looked around when he was talking.

Build On

179677_3 — 2025-05-08 18:48:38 UTC

Used evidence in order to build on to a point respectfully and effectively. He also explained his point thoughtfully.

173729_12 — 2025-05-08 18:48:42 UTC

Love how he's giving importance to smaller characters and building of on previous conversations by listening to others. He also describes the actions of Hona and that she is important because she keeps the family safe.

154537_20 — 2025-05-08 18:48:53 UTC

Sri addresses how valuable objects and the prospect of wealth can change someone and make them greedier, slowly warping them and changing who they are at their core which I thought was an interesting topic.

137807_3 — 2025-05-08 18:48:54 UTC

Related back to Sri's comment about his family and I thought that it was a good way to branch onto a previous idea instead of creating a new one.

149187_4 — 2025-05-08 18:48:56 UTC

I like the connection Dilip made about Kino's greed for the pearl had to do with his pride and simply just his selfishness

1457518 — 2025-05-08 18:49:03 UTC

He does a good job to explain how a character is vital to the story and brought an idea earlier in the discussion which people added on.

Builds On

149083_1 — 2025-05-08 18:49:48 UTC

A great way of adding on to the point made earlier and bringing effective evidence to support ideas made previously.

139092_6 — 2025-05-08 18:49:49 UTC

I like how he used connections to the story to support his answer to a question. I thought that it was a good way to go back to a past idea.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 18:49:53 UTC

Used a quote to explain about how the Pearl only brings destruction. Spoke about how Kino's child's death shows the destruction of the Pearl.

149187_4 — 2025-05-08 18:50:37 UTC

She explained how the music was a relevant part of the story and symbolized the changes in Kino's character

137807_3 — 2025-05-08 18:50:40 UTC

The statement about the music and how it changed threw out the book. I thought her comment about the symbolism was great.

1457518 — 2025-05-08 18:50:55 UTC

He adds more evidence and quotes to explain the idea that the Pearl only brought destruction rather than being beneficial which strengthens the argument.

140675_6 — 2025-05-08 18:51:07 UTC

I like how Tanvi added in a new idea while also connecting it back into other ideas that were mentioned during the seminar. Overall I thought it was well-explained and thoughtful.

1873518 — 2025-05-08 18:51:18 UTC

I love how Tanvi agreed to two other people and smoothly added her point of view with no problems. She talked about peaceful topics such a nobility and it was really pleasing to the ear to listen to how clear and articulate her explanation was.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 18:51:28 UTC

Spoke about how Juana had a good moral compass and wanted to protect her family.

1457518 — 2025-05-08 18:51:45 UTC

He contrasts Juana and Kino which is unique and builds of a previous idea.

Well-Said

179677_3 — 2025-05-08 18:51:52 UTC

Explained her point by relating it to a "moral compass", effectively adding her perspective to the conversation.

149187_4 — 2025-05-08 18:51:55 UTC

Sri effectively contrasted the difference between Kino and Juana and they're separate opinions over the pearl.

172064_11 — 2025-05-08 18:52:10 UTC

Sri asks a meaningful question about if wealth, represented by the pearl, brings success or negativity, and provides a well worded answer explaining how there are more pieces of evidence that it brings negativity and greed.

139092_6 — 2025-05-08 18:52:18 UTC

I liked how he talked about more than one perspective to prove his point. It was well explained and descriptive.

184851_11 — 2025-05-08 18:52:41 UTC

I liked Aadhya choice of words such as "moral compass" I think it really added meaning to her response. Which proved the fact that Aadhya was well-prepared for the seminar.

162119_10 — 2025-05-08 18:52:49 UTC

When he agrees with Sri's statement he uses a before v.s. after comparison about him getting the pearl.

154537_20 — 2025-05-08 18:53:05 UTC

Sri addresses the contrast between Juana and keano and how while keano becomes more aggressive when acquires the pearl while Juana wanted to get rid of the pearl and protect their family showing how different people can react differently to the same situation which I believe is an interesting topic.

139092_6 — 2025-05-08 18:53:45 UTC

I like how he talked about how people change when they believe someone has money. It shows how greed is very destructive.

137807_3 — 2025-05-08 18:53:50 UTC

Harshits new ideas threw out the whole seminar have been great. Bringing different things to talk about and making sure people don't repeat the same things.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 18:53:58 UTC

Spoke about how Kino was consumed from greed from the Pearl. Spoke an nice explanation to prove Kino's greed created from the Pearl.

140675_6 — 2025-05-08 18:53:59 UTC

I thought that his comment was well-explained with a central idea of how Kino was greedy and abusive because of the pearl.

149187_4 — 2025-05-08 18:54:42 UTC

I like Hannah's question wondering how the story would have a different ending if something changed. Her answer explains how there could be positive and negative consequences from it

173729_12 — 2025-05-08 18:55:40 UTC

I love the fact that she used a What-If question to build of on shreys idea and shes providing even more evidence to support her answer for her thoughts and shes citing quotes from the book as well.

1457518 — 2025-05-08 18:55:54 UTC

He introduces an interesting idea of how the doctor at the start refuses Kino,but after the Pearl the doctor welcomes him gladly which is shows that people are getting close to Kino just for the Pearl

174093_5 — 2025-05-08 18:55:55 UTC

She contributes a meaningful explanation about an alternate timeline of events to demonstrate the possible repercussions of keeping the pearl.

139092_6 — 2025-05-08 18:57:10 UTC

I like how she brought in a new question and her answer was well-thought out.

141980_3 — 2025-05-08 18:57:54 UTC

Aadhya made a good point about that once you give someone something they just want more and people are naturally greedy.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 18:58:01 UTC

Built on kenley's statement. Added new information to further prove and understand the statement.

174093_5 — 2025-05-08 18:58:42 UTC

She contributed a meaningful thought to explain an event in the book through the use of a real-world analogy about winning a lottery.

172064_11 — 2025-05-08 18:58:44 UTC

Sai uses the example of Coyotito's death as a symbol of the true price of greed, which was a helpful and deep connection.

1457518 — 2025-05-08 18:58:45 UTC

Throughout the seminar, Sri continues to add to different topics which helps him and people who provided the idea.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 18:59:29 UTC

Used a quote from the book to show how fear can influence their actions or decisions. Explained how the quote supported the statement.

154537_20 — 2025-05-08 19:00:39 UTC

I like how Bhavini addresses how fear heavily influences the nature of humans by showing how Keano's fear of losing the pearl leads him to acting the way he does and how juana's fear of how the pearl might destroy their family influences her actions.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 19:00:50 UTC

Well thought out explanation. Nicely connected the ideas.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 19:01:47 UTC

Used information to explain his topic. Nicely explained.

162119_10 — 2025-05-08 19:03:40 UTC

His question elaborates the topic by bringing a whole new perspective which lets other people elaborate on top of his question.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 19:03:58 UTC

Built on Rishi's explanation. Added more information to further prove his point.

184851_11 — 2025-05-08 19:04:55 UTC

I liked how Tanvi noticed that it has been a while since the last new idea and how the discussion was slowing down, and decided to move the discussion moving. Which shows how prepared she is, because it is showing she is ready to jump in, when the group needs a push to move along in the discussion.

1457518 — 2025-05-08 19:05:33 UTC

She used symbolism to see a simple thing as a scorpion could represent "foreshadowing of future consequences"

154537_20 — 2025-05-08 19:06:24 UTC

I like how Aadhya addresses how Keano believes that the pearl is his destiny but it is due to his actions that everything happens the way it does.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 19:06:27 UTC

Spoke about a Question that would have changed the evidence in the book.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 19:10:52 UTC

Spoke about something in the book and asked a question about it and how it would have changed some evidence. Explained her information very nicely, answering the question.

1457518 — 2025-05-08 19:14:08 UTC

Sai considered that instead of greed it was hopefulness. However during the book the hopefulness turned into greed which led to negative consequences.

159031_5 — 2025-05-08 19:15:21 UTC

Added on to Shri's statement. Provided a quote to explain her point. Nicely explained how the quote connects toward her argument.

162119_10 — 2025-05-08 19:15:32 UTC

Her building on the scorpion shows that she has thought about what each character represents. It also is a great way to end the seminar.
