Objective: I can consider my options of foundational works of American literature, to see how two or more texts treat similar themes or topics with the purpose of determining whether or not the should be read (RL9).  
Agenda:
  • Entry Task:  Get out your notebook and write a response to the following.
    • Imagine a world where everyone with blue eyes got to give orders to everyone with brown eyes. If you're born with blue eyes, you get the good jobs, the good schools, the good houses, and all the fair trials you could want. If you have brown eyes—too bad. It's menial labor, rudimentary education, and a house by the dump.  How does this impact your sense of truth, liberty, and justice?  Explain your reasoning and be prepared to share your answer.
  • Take notes on Harper Lee from the prezi 
  • Review argument letter
  • Watch Why To Kill A Mockingbird is Being Banned
  • Complete Anticipation Guide
  • Exit Task:  In your notebook, write down whether or not you are interested in reading To Kill a Mockingbird and why.
