  3. “Names/NombresJulia Alvarez • Literary Analysis: • Characteristics of a Personal Essay • Point of view • Setting • Characterization • Purpose • Humor

  4. Activity • List 2 words on the front of your notecard that you don’t understand the meaning OR that you think are unique in some way. • On the back of your notecard write 2 statements that impacted you in some way.

  5. Activity • Agree or Disagree • Decide where you “fall” in the spectrum between strongly agreeing and strongly disagreeing on the following statements: • Almost all homeless people are men. • There are approximately 1-3 million homeless people in the United States. • Most homeless people are that way because they are lazy and don’t want to follow rules.

  6. “Homeless”Anna Quindlen • Literary Analysis: • Personal Essay • Purpose • Imagery • Tone

  7. “The Noble Experiment”Jackie Robinson • Literary Analysis: • Autobiography • Purpose • Internal and External Conflict

  8. activity • Socratic Debate • The inner group will get to respond to the selection first while the outer group writes comments on the whiteboard (either in response to what is being said or something original). The outer group may not talk at all. • You are not allowed to judge what someone else has said, but at the same time make sure your comments are relevant. • Your grade will be determined by your level of participation. • Inner group: Did you make relevant (not silly) comments? • Outer group: Did you write relevant (not silly) responses with no talking?

  9. Questions to think about • 1. What does Robinson mean when he says of African Americans, “We go through like walking a tightrope to prevent too much disillusionment?” • 2. Rickey interpreted reports that Robinson had been a “racial agitator” at UCLA to mean that Robinson was a “contender, a competitor.” What made him think that? • 3. Consider the difficulties both Rickey and Robinson faced. Who showed the greater courage? Give reasons for your answer. • 4. Many saw Jackie Robinson as a role model for young people. Should we expect athletes to be role models, or should we judge them only on their athletic performance?
