  1. Gateway What does it mean to be prejudiced?

  2. Opening Quote • “Truly, friend, and methinks it must gladden your heart, after your troubles and sojourn in the wilderness,” said the townsman, “to find yourself, at length, in a land where iniquity is searched out, and punished in the sight of rulers and people.” --Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

  3. Learning Target • I will be able to define “inference,” and make inferences drawn from complex text.

  4. Learning Goals • RL 12.1-Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain. • RL 12.4-Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including words with multiple meanings or language that is particularly fresh, engaging, or beautiful.

  5. Reading • First chapter from the novel “When She Woke” by Hillary Jordan. • Selected paragraph from chapter 2. Jordan, H. (2011). When she woke. Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill. ISBN 978-1-56512-629-9

  6. Making Inferences • Small Group Discussion: • What is a Chrome or Malechroming? • What is a vid? • Where is Hannah? • What crime do you think she committed?

  7. Answer Key: Extra slide to explain answers to prior slide. • A Chrome is a person who has committed a crime. Malechroming is the act of injecting a semi-permanent dye into the criminal which changes the color of their skin. The color indicates the type of crime they committed. Red = murder. • A “vid” is like a television screen, but in real time. • Hannah is in a prison where the malechroming takes place. • She had an abortion.

  8. Evidence? • What is your impression of how Chromes are treated once they are released from the Chrome ward? What evidence from the reading supports your theory? • Based on your inferences, compare the reaction to and treatment of Chromes in the novel to the treatment of people of color both historically and in the present day.

  9. Debate • Do you think that melachroming might actually be a good solution to the enormous problems of our criminal justice system? Why or why not?

  10. Making Connections Group Wrap Up Discussion: • Do you see any issues with prejudices that could occur as a result of malechroming?
