We will get into groups of three and quickly share thoughts about these questions:
- other than academics, what has been important to you in high school?
- what are your future plans - college / work / gap year / etc.?
- what is the best thing you ever ate?
- what is an issue you care about - something beyond yourself / Deerfield
Which of these was the easiest to talk about? Which one was the hardest? Why?
Then, we'll make a list of the different characters we have encountered in the book so far. Your group will focus on three of them, and for each one, you will:
- identify the parts of the book where they are mentioned
- describe what we know about them and their past
- name their values - what is important to the character? how can we determine this, based on the little information we've heard up to this point?
For the weekend, you are reading the rest of part 1. Enjoy! Pay close attention to the last page!
