Thursday, May 27 Agenda

*         Bell Ringer: Perspective Journals… should be done with #5 (66-83)
*         Pass your perspective journal to another class member. Read through your peer’s entry, checking that they have done it correctly: labeled which pages for section and which character, written in the voice of the character, covered the thoughts and feelings of character of all of the main things that happened in that chapter
*         With small group, go through the big idea sheet and discuss where the different ideas have been seen (start with Am. Dream, be specific, page numbers/textual evidence always helpful).
*         Assessment on OMM coming soon (best guess=Wednesday/Thursday)
*         This will focus on the Big Ideas tied to THEMES and Textual Evidence
*         With the same small group, work on discussing and then jotting down answers to questions (1-8), especially questions 5 and 7 on sheet then add your opinions on these questions: Why doesn’t Curley’s wife get a name? What could Steinbeck be saying by not giving Curley’s wife a name but giving the cathouse runners names? Or is it just trying to make something out of nothing that she has no name and they do? Explain why you think what you do.
*         Add this to the ‘power’ question (8) on sheet: Why does Curley’s wife verbally attack Crooks the way she does at the end of section 4?
*         HW: Read Section 5 and 6: finish book for tomorrow

*         HW: Perspective journal #6: either half page for 5 and half for 6 (switching perspectives), or full page for both together (one person’s perspective)… All six journals due TUESDAY.
