4/28/21 - 4/29/21: As you read, contiue to notice groups to which your character(s) belong, and any power imbalances that you notice between groups. Refer to the "Thinking about Power Imbalances between Groups" chart and include evidence to support your reasoning.

4/30/21 - 5/3/21:  Read enough pages to achieve your reading goal. Then, in your reading notebook, brainstorm ideas for possible themes. Be sure to inlcude evidence from the text to support your thinking. Refer to the "Thought Prompts to Grow Ideas about Themes" chart to guide your writing.


5/4/21 - 5/5/21:  Continue to think about a character as a member of a group and also as a unique person. Think about the group's challenges and responses to those challenges, along with the character's traits and motivations. How does the character respond in individual ways to the group's challenges? Are there lessons that can be learned from this?  Refer to the "Characters are complicated" chart and jot down your ideas, along with evidence from the text. You might also want to think about the vocaulary we discussed. (Refer to the "Vocabulary for Group-Related Issues" chart.)


5/5/21 - 5/6/21: Think through if this story/book is more negative or positive overall, ask..."Are there more examples of negative or positive moment
s across the story?" and "Are the strongest moments more negative or more positive?" Refer to the "Negative or Positive" chart and jot down your notes, along with evidence from the text.


5/7/21 - 5/10/21:  Analyze the images you encounter in your daily life for possible stereotypes, just as we did in class today. You might take note of billboards or ads in stores or bus stops. You can probably find plenty of images just by looking at social media. Even your own Instagram might be worth a study. Notice the pictures and other images that get a ton of likes and those that don't get as many. Think about why certain images are more appealing than others. Push yourself to notice not only the images that reinforce common assumptions, but also those that challenge them. What sets these pictures apart? What challenges people to think harder and in more careful ways? Take and upload pictures of what you find and then do some writing about your findings.
