Essential Question Why do people misbehave?
In today’s lesson we will: • RL 3: Analyze how particular elements of a story interact • L 4b: Use Latin roots as clues to the meaning of a word. • SL 1: Engage in a collaborative discussion with my group on the behaviors of both characters.
BEFORE READING QUESTIONS Make a list of ways you have seen people misbehave. (For example, disrupting class by throwing paper or yelling at a funeral.) 2. What are reasons people may misbehave? 3. Does bad behavior sometimes get people what they want?
Why do people MISBEHAVE? Key Idea: No one’s behavior is always perfect. When we misbehave, sometimes we do so for a reason – although that doesn’t mean it’s a good one. In the stories that you are about to read, an elderly woman and a young boy misbehave at important milestones in their lives.
