2. Independent reading- First 10 minutes. "American Oligarchs"  Remember... Eric Liu presents power as neither good, nor bad. It just is. This article is not addressing if you agree or disagree with the Trumps and Kushner's practices of obtaining power.. but how power itself aligns with Weber and Liu's definitions.

3.  Take out your "Accountable Talk" handout. You will be using this in your following discussion. Accountable Talk Stems

In your small groups, you will have a short discussion over the article you all just read. Think about how it relates to Weber's definition of power and Eric Liu's argument for power literacy.

4. For class today you selected 5 quotes from the 37 to examine in the context of our larger discussion about power.  In addition to your notes you should already, discuss in your small group the following ideas:
  • Put quote into your own words. 
  • What literary devices do you see being utilized? 
  • What advice does this quote seem to offer? 
  • How does the literal meaning support or emphasize the figurative meaning? 
  • What specific words (diction) in the quote are supportive of your findings/understanding?
  • Why do you think the speaker is making this statement? 
  • Any contradictions in the definition? Contradictions with Weber? 
5. Group notes TURN IN-
Taking 4 of the Accountable Talk Stems, your group will submit four significant findings from your discussion. These findings need to be TEXT BASED... showing analysis of the text. Use findings from the prompts above as what your group reports.  Introduce the finding with the Accountable Talk Stem.. and then follow with your finding.

Example: "Our group noticed that . . . . "
                 "A similar theme that we noticed was . . . ."

FOR TOMORROW:
After your discussion, you should have your notes, which have been supplemented by your discussion. Plenty of ideas to work with.  Make sure you have all of your notes in order. YOU WILL NEED THESE TOMORROW.
