Objective:  I can discuss the resolution of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns through the lens of what it means to be cut off from "home", complete my lens questions and My Essential Literature.
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Sit with someone who is reading the same book as you (and has the same lens if possible!).  Get out your My Essential Literature and Lens questions.
  • Write or share a meaning of the work as a whole on your My Essential Literature
• Read the 2010 Open Choice prompts.  Select 1, and based on the book you read, write an opening sentence for the prompt.
• Review the rubric for the prompt you prefer and select one of the student essays to grade (if you read one of the books, select that!)
  • As you are reading the example essay, highlight what the student does on the rubric--take notes for how you would write your own essay on 1000 or Kite.
• Create human barometer for score; share which essay you read with the people in line with you.  Why did you give the score you did? 1 person share out from each group.
• Go back to your partner from the beginning of class.  Discuss whether or not you would keep the original meaning you wrote on the prompt or how you would change it.
