Objective: SWBAT make inferences about characters based on the physical, mental, and emotional things they are carrying.
Do-Now: Take out THREE items that you are carrying with you today. List each item and explain its purpose (why you are carrying it).
Today: 1) What is significant about the things we carry? How can we make inferences about people based on what they carry?
2) Class will begin reading “The Things They Carried,” pp. 1-5 focusing on the various items (both tangible and intangible) that the characters are carrying with them.
3) In groups, students will continue reading “The Things They Carried,” pp. 5-7 charting the characters and the items they are carrying.
Exit Slip: Look back at your Do-Now. What inferences could someone make about you based on the items you are carrying? What do these items say about you?
Homework: Begin work on personal essay “The Things I Carry." Part 1: Brainstorming: Make a list of the physical, mental, and emotional things you carry with you on a daily basis. Next to each item on the list, describe what the item reveals about your personality. You should have at least five items listed (the more, the better).
