Mini-Lesson
Thinking about our Vacation Reading Log-
- What are the rules of this setting? – This is THE most important question when you’re thinking about any sort of book.
- In Native Son– racial segregation and unequal treatment, black neighborhoods have a different set of rules than white
- Fantasy/Dystopian/Super Heroes – Black Mirror, Game Of Thrones, The Giver, etc… – Dragons are real, people can fly/super strength, etc…, technology is more advanced.
- Teen Drama- “Pricilla and The Wimps” – people pay the Cobras. That’s just the way it is. Mean Girls, 13 Reasons Why, etc…
- Who makes the rules? –
- What happens if the rules are broken?
- How does the setting impact the characters in different ways?
