Essential Questions There are questions that are basic in this unit and some that really require deep thought. These are some of the questions you should think about while reading and add others that you come up with on your own. What point of view is the story told from? Why is it important for the main character to get the scholarship? What are the problems the main character and her family encounter? What character traits do the main character and her family exhibit? Why does the main character hear the conversation about the scholarship jacket? What is the main thing that was said about the scholarship jacket? What is the difference between the main character culture and your culture? What right does the main character almost lose because of her nationality? Who is on her side?
Purpose and Expectations of Unit Dear Students, In this unit, we will take a look at and evaluate character, point of view, and culture. You will use this photo assessment to guide you as we study this unit. This photo album will let you know of the assessments and what to expect on the assessments. You may ask questions throughout the unit, and I will be sure to answer questions you have with a prompt response. I am very much looking forward to this unit and the learning we are doing. Ms. B.
