1. Talk to your book group: 

• There are several questions your group needs to be able to answer today. Discuss these questions and be sure you can explain them. 
• Write your answer to these questions in your English Journal AFTER you talk about them with your group.

1. What does your main character want more than anything? What obstacles stand in his/her way?

2. Who does your character have relationships with? What are those relationships like? 

2. Memoir Presentations
Several of your classmates are presenting today. Please give them your attention.

3. Counseling Survey: 
Please take this survey for the people planning one of your activities next week.

PS: We are talking about characters because of this standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3
Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme.

Reminders: Keep reading your group novel.
