Learning Target: I can work with a classmate to annotate for characters and setting in Behind The Beautiful Forevers.
Wesley April 7, 2017 Period 7 lesson plan
4AP English Language and Composition

1)    Count students off randomly (numbering students one to ten – or around that, depending on the number in class today), so that they end up randomly paired with someone (some groups might have three members).
2)   Each student in the pair (or trio) should share two of the more powerful connections they made (based on annotation suggestions given yesterday – see list below). 

Chicago & American Connections (C&A): In what ways is Mumbai like Chicago, like America?  How is it different?

Moral Depravity (D): How is this a story of moral depravity?

Human Spirit (S): How is this a story of human strength, spirit and perseverance against great odds?

Power (P): How is this a story of how power really works?  Consider the influence of the following on power and opportunity: money, connections, skin color/race/ethnicity/religious prejudices, police and political corruption, pollution, unbridled/unregulated capitalism) (5-10 mintues)

Second half of class: Share with the class

Page, paragraph, partial quote	Articulately explain the connection (use analytical verbs and comparison/contrast words, where appropriate)
Chapter 1 (any two connections) 1) 2)
Chapter 2 (connections from each of the four annotation categories* - Chicago/American connection, Moral Depravity, Human Spirit/Strength/Perseverance, and Power Dynamics) 1) 2) 3) 4)

Homework: None
