*Bell Ringer: Writer’s
Notebook: At some point, you were Disney Animation Studio’s target

in your life, Disney effectively targeted you? Has their message affected the
thoughts you have or had or what you ‘know’? Is Disney effective when it comes
to getting their message to their target audience? How?
*Discuss John Smith’s General
History of Virginia pg 94 Orange
*What changes
do you think were made when Smith wrote it, why? (lists of details most likely
true and those most likely altered) Is this a true witness account or fiction?
Why?(reliable narrator) Why third person narration?
