American Street - Day 7

Happy Friday!

Today we'll meet in the library classroom. 

The goal of today is for you to check in with various characters to get a sense of how the story is developing for them. You will not be doing this with your group or a partner, or anyone else in the class. Instead, you will go into the ARC for a short conference with one of the tutors there. 
Look next to the name of the character to see where I have assigned you:
  • Fabiola  (Aaron, Lily, Gavin, Matt S.)
  • Pri    (Matt F., Morgan, Gracie, Ben S.)
  • Donna    (Maggie, Ben G., Jared)
  • Chantal    (Augie, Caroline, Josh M.)
  • Kasim   (Lauren, Ethan, Hannah)
  • Dray   (Emma, Eli, Jessica, Sophia)
  • Imani   (Josh D., Adi, Daryn, Keshav)
Here are the points you need to identify for your character:
  • Major concerns - what things are most important to this character? how do you know this?
  • Personality traits - what emotions or other aspects of their personality do they show? To whom? does their behavior / personality change?
  • Quotation - something said about your character and/or something said by your character
  • When you are ready, you will go to the ARC for a short conference with one of the teachers there. They will ask you about these aspects of your character and you will explain it to them.
  • You do not need to write out anything formal but my expectation is that between your annotations and notes you are prepared for the conference and you keep track of your work
After your conference, you may use the rest of the period to start your homework - read chapters 14 & 15 and write a journal response.
