•Bell Ringer: Answer at least one of these
questions in your writer’s notebook.
Use proper grammar and conventions and have a paragraph or more per
bullet point. If you finish one and
there is still time, answer the other one!
Be prepared to give an answer to both in discussion.
•Is it inevitable (unavoidable) that we
conform to the world and society around us? In other words, do
we have to change ourselves to fit into the world around us
(communities, groups, school, etc.)? Why/how?
•What happens when a person does not
accept and/or
does
not play by the rules of the main culture or what everyone else feels is
appropriate or what people should be like?
•Discuss Bell Ringer
•Flight
•Intro to book, how the unit will work
•First Theme to Trace: Loneliness and
Identity
•Quote Tracing: keep track of textual
evidence that stands out to you about themes, historical events,
Zits’ experience, how
people
can connect with it or details that show it is a book ‘with an impact,’ or
evidence that would make people dislike the book/find it offensive (WRITE THIS IN YOUR READER’S NOTEBOOK
SECTION)
•What are some lines from the first pages
that would make it a book that ‘has an impact’? What are lines that would cause
people to question its use in a classroom? What are lines that show us Zits’
character? What are lines that connect to the bio article?
