Monday, November 21

ObjectiveSWBAT 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).
