1. BELLRINGER Nov. 6/7 Find your seat. You have partners.
Take out your project and share one or two of your favorite entries with your partner.
If you don’t have your project with you today, you need to fill out a pink slip (on the grey paper – look on the front short bookshelf.)

2. Get out your English notebook
Find your “Rite of Passage” article – most of you have yours because YOU DIDN’T TURN IN THIS ASSIGNMENT!!!
I am handing back the graded assignments if you turned it in.

3. How do different cultures around the world define maturity?
(AND WHAT DO WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON? )

4. In your partnerships,
Review what each lesson of the unit had to say about what makes us who we are and how do we know when we become what we will become
List the lessons from one to five. Write 5a – “Fifteen” and 5b – “If”
Write the basic answer for each question next to their corresponding number.

5. ROTATE! Each half of the room will rotate to their half’s numbers.
At each station, record what you and your partner said was the answer to the Lesson question.
When you are finished, return to your seat.
Now, write a statement about how our culture defines maturity. Base it off of our six texts from unit 1.

6. We will be reading a descriptive article.
You need to write an introduction and a thesis (what is the point to the entire article) for the article
You need to write a closing paragraph.
You need to write tie-ins for each of the handout’s examples which explain how each example connect to your thesis for the entire article. Write these in the empty space beneath each example.
Your thesis will state how different cultures around the world define maturity.
Your introduction will introduce how we define maturity and then you’ll move into the examples from the article.

7. Submit your article introduction, the tie-ins, and the closing by the end of class.
