Learning Targets

  1. I can write a narrative to convey a memory for a specific audience (Mrs. Haughaboo).
  2. I can connect the theme of Coming of Age to a text I've read before.

Agenda

  1. Take attendance.
  2. Check for signed syllabi + return vocab cards
  3. Write a list of key memories (at least 6) on a timeline, including the date, place, and a drawing that represents the event.in your life or the life of your family.  Choose one of those events and write 2-3 paragraphs about it. 
  4. Discuss the power of memories:  Why are certain events more memorable than others?  Why are certain stories told “again and again” in a family?
  5. COMING OF AGE IN A NEW LAND: FORGING A NEW IDENTITY This theme focuses on the transition from carefree childhood to responsible adulthood which is complicated in the novel by Jim and Ántonia’s being transplanted to a new landscape and culture. They search for identity, freedom and independence, and connections that will help them discover themselves and their capabilities. While young adults’ search for identity can lead to isolation, confusion, and rebellion, this theme emphasizes psychological growth or maturity.
  6. Select a novel or film most you know in which the main adolescent character changes in the course of the story (To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Star Wars, a Harry Potter novel, or recent teen movie). As a group, list the traits of the protagonist at the beginning and end of the story and discuss how he/she changes.    
  • When does the character begin to change and why?
  • As the character matures and grows up, how does his or her identity change?
  • What stages does the character pass through on the way to a new, or more mature identity?
  • Ask students if they believe all young people go through similar stages in the maturation process. 
  1. Assign copies of My Antonia to start reading for homework.  (Read the Introduction and Book 1: Chapters I-III by tomorrow (1/7).
  2. Continue working on vocabulary cards (Due Friday).
  3. Other News: Outside reading test will be on 3/10/16.
