  1. English III Unit 3 Day 1- Intro to Of Mice and Men

  2. Leader: Good afternoon, Pumas.  Please compose yourselves for prayer by taking a comfortable position in your chairs.  Leader: Ad Majorem  . . . All: Dei Gloriam.  Leader: We study, work and play . . . All: for the greater glory of God. 2-minute reflection Leader: We close by saying, “Glory to the Father, and to Jesus the Son, and to the Holy Spirit . . . All: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen! ”

  3. Happy Wednesday! Do-Now: Add in a comma, colon, or semi-colon where necessary. If it is correct, write “correct.” • The students wanted to buy Ms. Stitt a Christmas present but didn’t know what to get her. • Correct (remember that you need a full sentence after the conjunction to be able to use a comma). • In five minutes my paper needs to be finished! • In five minutes, my paper needs to be finished! • I cannot buy a car right now I simply don’t have enough money. • I cannot buy a car right now; I simply don’t have enough money. (Two full sentences are on either side of the semi-colon and they’re closely related).

  4. Prayer: • Period 6: Arnulfo, • Thursday: Miguel, Friday: Jordan • Period 7: Kiara, • Thursday: Mirka, Friday: Alberto • Period 8: Angel, • Thursday: Rolanda, Friday: Alex

  5. Announcements/Reminders: • Assessment on commas, semi-colons, colons tomorrow. • Turn in Crucible books up front. Put the number of your book in the “checked in?” box when you do. Bring it in by the end of the week please. • These people need to come in to do The Crucible test because of absences: • Cedria, Sammie, Allie,

  6. SWBAT… Discuss upcoming issues and themes of Of Mice and Men Examine what the American dream is.

  7. Finish discussion using the anticipation guide… • Remember: stand up if you DISAGREE and arms up if you agree. 1. The N-word is more offensive than other racial slurs because of the history of hate behind it. 2. Life today is more difficult than it used to be for our parents and grandparents 3. Killing another human being can sometimes be justifiable, especially if it will put that person out of their misery 4. Anyone can achieve their dreams if they work hard enough for it.

  8. Write for three minutes straight on the following question... What is the AmericanDream?

  9. Here’s what some singers have to say… • Frank Sinatra “New York New York” • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnNhNqtX1t4 • Jay Z and Alicia Keys “Empire State of Mind” • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weLbgF-f_u4

  10. The next two books we read will be about the American Dream (Of Mice and Men and the Great Gatsby…) • Though these books have other themes as well that we will be discussing, it does give us a good look at what the American dream used to be. • Throughout this session, think about what the American dream is nowadays– is it the same as it was back then? Is it different?

  11. HW: • Vocab 7 due tomorrow • I HIGHLY recommend that you do the comma, colon, semi-colon practice sheet. It’s a different one than last time even though it looks similar.

  12. Exit: • Tell me one thing you found interesting today that someone else spoke about during discussion or about the American dream.
