Objective: SWBAT describe a character’s motivation and how it effects the decisions made by that character. SWBAT compare/contrast two characters based on the events each character experienced in her childhood.
Do-Now: What motivated you to come to school today? How might your decision to come to school have been different without this motivation? Explain.
Today: 1) Character Motivation: Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic
2) Class will begin reading Chapter #2, focusing on Janie’s description of her childhood.
3) Students will finish reading Chapter #2. What motivates Janie’s grandmother to marry Janie to Logan Killicks? How has Nanny’s past caused her to want a better life for Janie?
Exit Slip: Based on what you know about your parents/grandparents, what do you believe motivates them to treat you the way that they do and set the expectations that they have for you?
Homework: Create a VENN diagram comparing Janie’s childhood to Nanny’s. Make sure to have at least THREE similarities and SIX differences (3 in each character's circle).
