Thursday, Sept. 8 Agenda

•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?
Discussion of Identity and Zits
