Objective:  I can analyze multiple interpretations of the references in a novel including both a pop culture reference and a Shakespearean play in order to determine their cultural value and evaluate how each influences the outcome of the novel (RL11-12.7).  
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Share out your answers to if the motto is a good fit and what is worth living for with a neighbor.
  
  • Two pairs to share out to the class
    
• Revisit Star Trek on your handout
  
• Take a peek into Shakespeare’s King Lear
  
  • Watch the summary video for King Lear (Sparknotes or Analysis)
    
• Compare Shakespeare’s life and times to that of the Traveling Symphony
  
• Writer’s Workshop:  The Traveling Symphony is navigating life after civilization. How is this reflected in the various texts and times/events mentioned in the book
  
• Exit Task:  What connections can you make to the two themes we are focusing on in the book?  Turn in your handout.
