"Peeking at the Negative Side of High School Popularity" by Alina Tugend----NOTE THIS WILL BE A SOURCE FOR THE ESSAY

On your own time, finish reading Act 1: pages 61-69/Answer the Act 1 study guide questions and turn in by class tomorrow. There will be a quiz on Act 1 on Tuesday!!!

Today in class:
First, we will read par. 1-15 together. (link)
Next, we will pause and look up the definitions of any underlined words and write them on the packet.
Third, you will repeat this same procedure for paragraphs 16-32.
When you are finished, write an answer to the following question:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Do you feel that this article has convinced you that there is a negative side to high school popularity?
  • Why or why not?---Give a minimum of 3-4 pieces of text evidence to explain your response.
  • How does this article relate to Death of a Salesman? Think about Willy's ideas about being "well-liked" by others.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, trade your paper (your response) with another class mate and respond to them accordingly:

*Did you agree or disagree with his/her opinion of the author's claim?
*Respond to their analysis in some way. (did they give good examples, what about his/her relation to the play?)
