Objective:  I can read from the unfamiliar genre I selected for a sustained time and begin to develop an understanding of the traits of the genre.
Agenda:  

• Entry Task:  Get out your selected reading and sit somewhere you are comfortable to read.  Devices need to be put away and set to airplane mode during reading time to avoid distraction.
  
• Check what you need to add to for the Unfamiliar Genre Brochure
  
  • Character Names (or speaker/audience)
    
  • Plot points (or poem descriptions)
    
  • Settings or symbols
    
• Read and enjoy your selection for a total of 25 minutes
  
• After reading, review the rubrics for the Anatomy-Of and Writing-In Genre and select which project you would prefer to complete.
  
  • Continue to complete your brochure; you may need to do some research about your genre-try sites like Shmoop or Sparknotes or google items like Romance Genre Elements in order to identify 3 elements which is a key component to either project choice.
    
• Exit Task:  Consider that you have 50 min. of in-class reading time left.  How much will you need to read outside of class to complete your reading selection?  Make sure to develop your reading plan and stick to it!
