Friday, Oct. 30 Agenda

•Bell Ringer: Read Section 4

•In WN: Start to brainstorm how any ideas from the book are still seen today.  What issues are faced today that are mentioned, dealt with, experienced, etc in the book?

•Finish 4

•Characters vs. Society: for the four characters we read about in section 4, how do we see them in conflict with society? What part of society, how is it seen, specifically in what we just read. (Talk with a partner)

•In this chapter, we learn more about Lennie, Crooks, Candy, and Curley's wife. What similarities do these four characters share? Bring up when done.

•Theme examples: During work time after we read together today, you need to bring your theme sheet up.  You should have at least one example for each theme from pages 38-65 and one from 66-83 for all as well.

•In this chapter, we see how some people can be cruel to other people. Find two or three examples--why do the characters need to be so cruel in these examples? Or, are they just ignorantly prejudiced and not really being consciously cruel?  Bring up when done.

•Section 4 Perspective Journal: can be Lennie, Crooks, or Candy –NOT George

•Reading time (own book, completion sheet due today but must have by Tuesday) or perspective journal for section 4 (Lennie, Crooks, Candy)
