Objective:  I can analyze how an author's choices concerning how to structure specific parts of a text (e.g., the choice of where to begin or end a story, the choice to provide a comedic or tragic resolution) contribute to its overall structure and meaning as well as its aesthetic impact (RL11-12.5).
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Get a Chromebook and answer in your journal--If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?  Why?
  
• Review the Travel Story Characteristics
  
• Look at the story options from “8 Amazing Travel Stories You’ll Fall in Love With”
  
  • Select one and read on your own during 15-20 min. reading time
    
  • After reading, complete the Travel Story Characteristics
    
    • Add to your short story bracket
      
• Exit Task:  If you complete your reading and characteristics with extra time, outline your travel story from the Entry Task using the characteristics as a guide.
