GRADE 11
This chapter has addressed aspects of relationships, independence/dependence/interdependence, and understanding oneself in community and relations among others. In this Integrative section, these topics are considered inter-culturally, first, in the famous 1905 short story by O. Henry, “The Gift of the Magi.” And second, in two related films— Tấm Cám and Cinderella—, one or
both possibly featured in a soiree. Finally, students are encouraged to journal at the end of the chapter, reflecting on Guiding Questions for Grade 11.
