Pair share about homework for 2nd Encounter

Discuss 2nd Encounter: How has each character changed in the 2nd Encounter?

WU: First day of school

Think back to the first day of school this year. List all the things you remember--this class, other classes, friends, school climate, weather, food, where you went during the day, getting to and from school, conflicts, etc.

What can’t you remember?

Discuss: How do time, experience, age, and point of view affect a shared memory?

Read: 3rd Encounter as a class --How have both characters changed (or stayed the same) in this encounter? --What does this section suggest about memory and how we are affected by memory? Can we trust our memories? --What does the discussion of economics and changing neighborhoods reveal here?

HW: Bring a choice reading book to class next time. We'll be doing a read-in for part of the class.
