Tuesday, Sept. 10 Agenda

• Bell Ringer: ACT Prep
• Flight
• 10 minutes to finish your response on your blog or read your independent book
• Read comments on “Things we think we know…” (http://mrsjohnsoncontemplit.edublogs.org/) 
• Intro to book, how the unit will work
• Questions: What is said in the video that is similar to what you or your classmates thought you knew about American Indians (from our earlier discussion/posts)? What is in the video that is different from what you or your peers thought you knew? 
• Reading own book (10 minutes)
• Flight
• Chapter 1
• First Big Ideas to Explicitly 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  (You can use the sheets I give you, post-its, or your own sheet of paper)
• 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?
