Language Goal: Discuss elements of literature and demonstrate mastery of new vocabulary.
Content Goal: The learner will respond to various literary genres using interpretive and evaluative processes.
Essential Questions: Why do the Socs like the Beatles while the Greasers like Elvis? What is the point that S.E. Hinton is trying to make with this statement? Do authors use stereotypes? Why?
Today we continued reading The Outsiders and demonstrated mastery of the new vocabulary via a quiz. The classes watched a variety of media clips concerning Beatlemania; this was done to provide background knowledge, establish a "baseline" of shared experience, and provide entertainment. Not to mention in order to attempt to cultivate an appreciation of American cultural history!
Homework: none
