Aim: How do we analyze our first impressions of some major themes, ideas and characters in Bodega Dreams?
Do Now: Take the anticipation survey as you listen to the Spanish Harlem Orchestra. It is not necessary to complete the final reflection at this time.

· 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.
Today we begin a new unit titled Responsibilities, Choices, and Consequences, based on the novel Bodega Dreams. The setting is Spanish Harlem. The survey questions concern some major ideas and themes in the novel. We are just measuring your attitudes and beliefs at this point in time. We will save it for the end of the unit to see how your attitudes and beliefs change after reading the novel. To take the survey here, see Pages.
Today you will also meet some characters and think about how these characters might relate to ideas or themes in the novel. If you missed class, see me about getting your character postcard.
Here are some critical questions to think about today:
