Friday, August 24th

For today, you have read the introduction and first chapter of The Other Wes Moore. 

1. Today in class is a blissful, peaceful reading day!

Here are some reading questions from Chapter 1 and 2 for you to review to check your comprehension of the first couple of chapters. These are NOT required, but can really help enforce key factors in the first two chapters.

2. Before the end of class, open up Schoology and respond to the following questions:

• Explain the significance of the quote, “Your father wasn’t there because he couldn’t be, my father wasn’t there because he chose not to be” (3).  Predict what impact this difference will have on each of the characters.
• Explain the quote, “I was taught to remember, but never question.  Wes was taught to forget, and never ask why” (4). 
• What are you initial reactions to the book, The Other Wes Moore?

Be through chapter 2 for Monday!
