1. Journal 
What do you think of the quote, “You are made up of the five people you spend the most time with?”

2. Video Discussion 
  • Yesterday we began to watch a video clip in first period that showed young students being asked questions about a black and a white doll. 
  • Today we're going to continue discussion about the video before we launch into our reading. 
3. Survey the Text 
  • Look up: Eula Biss
    • Who is she? 
    • What kind of pieces does she write? 
    • Do you think she has regret about anything she has written?
  • Look up: 2008, United States 
4. Read Sections 1-6
  • After getting context about the piece, let's begin reading. 
  • This is a long piece so we're going to go section by section to gain understanding. 
  • Today our goal is to finish the first six sections; tomorrow your goal will be to read the last portion of the text.
Reminders: 

  • I will not be here tomorrow or Friday. 
  • Refer to the blog for the assignments you need to complete. 
  • Tomorrow you will have Mr. Obermeyer, a good friend of mine. 
  • Please be kind and helpful to him.
