• • Bell Ringer: Read 13-20 (as a class)
  • Writing based on page 20 quotes
  • 
    
    • “They were afraid of dying but they were even more afraid to show it” (O’Brien 20).
    • “They used a hard vocabulary to contain the terrible softness” (O’Brien 20).
    • “It wasn’t cruelty, just stage presence. They were actors” (O’Brien 20).
    • “They carried all the emotional baggage of men who might die…the intangibles had their own mass and specific gravity, they had tangible weight” (O’Brien 21).
    • Tangible –can be felt, touched
    • In = not
    • When done, read to page 26, then bring your explanations and list (or post it marked) showing things carried to me.
  • Bring your interpretations up to me when done
  • Read the rest of the first chapter (20-26) (independently)
  • Work time on Social Issue Project (you should be making your product now that connects to your audience)
• Social Awareness Project
• Your notes should be done by the end of work time today (beginning of Monday at the latest)
• You now have an issue that you are focusing on that is important to some specific group today
• You need to know what group you are targeting and what mode of conveying information will best target that group
• Begin/Continue creating your ‘presentation’ of information, citing your sources

• Individual meeting with Mrs. Johnson about the project during work time
• When you turn in your project (on Tuesday), you will have a sheet explaining these questions:
• What is your target audience (GROUP)?
• Why did you pick the way you did to convey your information to your group? (Why is this most applicable to your group?)
• Why do you believe the issue you focused on is important and important specifically to the group you picked?
