Short Answer
1. In your own words, define “domestication.” In what context have you heard it before? What is the purpose of domestication?
Teaching Suggestion: The purpose of this question is to prepare students to engage with the theme Self-Limiting Agreements Learned Through Human Domestication. Students’ personal context will help them to make text-to-self connections to Ruiz’s ideas. If learners have little context for the processes involved in domestication, or if there is a desire to have an extended class discussion, the following links may be helpful. Teachers might use these videos to build a collective understanding of domestication, its methods, and purposes.
