Learning Target:I can assess my own writing, reading for a sense of flow and coherence as well as noticing details which need to be addressed.

Activity 1:  Peer reviews for those needing them on either the 1st or 2nd draft/self-reviews for those who are preparing their final draft. (15 mins)

Activity 2: (chapter 12) With a partner...one-full page. What does Meena's situation, and her means of resolving it, reveal about the lack of options for most young women in Mumbai?  Write a page which contains a mix of 1) paraphrase and two to three short embedded quotes summarizing Meena's dilemma and her decision, and 2) your analysis of what Meena's situation - and that of other women in poor, tradition-rooted families - suggests about the constraints on most women in this society.  In your analysis of the overall situation facing women in Annawadi, also identify the one or two primary forms of oppression  they face, briefly explaining why, according to the Five Faces of Oppression, they fall into these categories of oppression. Use proper MLA internal citations. (20-25 mins & 5 points)  

Activity 3: Sharing/discussing your activity 2 writing with another group.
