Thursday, December 15

Objective: SWBAT describe how a scene from the middle of a book parallels a scene from the beginning of the book.  SWBAT list a character’s core values and explain how they have remained constant throughout the story.

Do-Now: Do you believe people are able to change or are they doomed to stay the same?  Why do some people keep making the same mistakes over and over again?  Why do they fail to learn from their mistakes, even after making the same mistake several times?  Have you ever been guilty of making the same mistake more than once?

Today: 1) Class will being reading Chapter #10, focusing on the introduction of Janie’s new love interest, Tea Cake.  How does her meeting a Tea Cake resemble her meeting of Jody in the beginning of the book?  How is Janie falling for the same attributes in Tea Cake that she fell for in Jody?

2) Students will finish reading Chapter #10.  How is Tea Cake similar to Jody?  How is he different?  Based on what has happened to Janie in her past, why do you believe she is attracted to Tea Cake?

3) Create a VENN diagram comparing/contrasting Jody and Tea Cake.  Focus on what the men look like, how they act, and how they treat Janie.


EXIT SLIP: Explain how Janie’s meeting of Tea Cake resembles her prior meeting of Jody.  How do the two scenes resemble one another?  How do the two men resemble one another?
