Wednesday, Oct. 2 Agenda

• Bell Ringer: Quill work 10 min
• Discuss the following question with your partner/group, then in WN, write about Flight –is it ‘bad’, should it be challenged or banned? Why do you think people could have had problems with it?
• Bring this paragraph and the ideas from Thursday/today to me when you are finished, then work on your paper or read
• Discuss with a partner:
• How many books that have been challenged in the past do you think you’ve read? What are the top reasons that books are challenged (in general)? What are the different reasons why this book (Flight) could be controversial? What are issues in this book that are issues to teens today? What in Zits’ life has made him a controversial person? Are those things filled with controversy?
• Post the answers to this question on the blog post
• Writer’s Notebook: What are some possible perspectives that people could have on this book and that you have on this book? (What sort of people could be impacted by this book? What details/points in the book/details of Zits’ life could connect with people and why/how? Should it be read by teens? Are there serious issues with the content of the book? Etc.) This should be posted to YOUR blog
