Will reviewed the 2 questions he responded to about Part One of “The Glass Castle”. He was able to articulate the differences between Jeanette and her mom. He shared that Jeanette wanted to help her mom, but her mom was happy with her life and didn’t want help. We then discussed her purpose for writing the memoir, and how being truthful about your past frees you from having to hide it anymore and helps you to accept the things that happened to you. Next, we reviewed the reading he did for homework, annotated the section about the glass castle, and discussed the use of the “glass castle” as an extended metaphor to symbolize childhood and future dreams left unfulfilled. After completing the novel work, we returned to our unit on media literacy. After reviewing the definition of a “digital footprint”, Will began to explore his own digital footprint. For homework, Will is going to read pages 32-61 and answer 6 questions about the reading. He did an awesome job today!
