Objective:
I can preview a text to begin to make predictions about how I will see unit themes revealed throughout the novel (RL 2).
Entry Task:
As you come into class, prepare to play a round of Blooket.
After our game, grab a packet off the front table and your notebook and turn to your Post-Apocalyptic & Dystopian Literature notes that we completed yesterday. View the image and consider what it makes you think of and what it might have to do with post-apocalyptic literature. Be prepared to share.
What’s Going On:
Today we will spend some time previewing our unit text: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. Together we will explore an article featuring the novel, as well as other post-apocalyptic texts, and the back-of-the-book synopsis. We will also check out copies of the book from the library today.
Exit Task:
Spend some time considering everything you have heard about the novel so far, and answer the last question on your packet by making a prediction about how you will see each of our big ideas throughout the book; also put a star next to the big idea you are most interested in focusing on at this time. Turn this into the bin once you are done and clean up around you.
