Block day this week was spent discussing Chapters 1 and 2 in some good ol' fashion reading groups. In small groups of three, you discussed key events, characters, and significant quotes about the book, and recorded some ideas in your notes. Afterwards, each group shared what they talked about, and we continued into a whole class discussion and also went over your reading questions from your homework before you turned them in. We also watched part one of a series of videos I will be showing you about gang life. In your notes, you recorded any similarities and differences you noticed between the experiences of the people in the video and Luis' early experience in gangs. To watch the video, click here. For homework, please read Chapter 3 by Friday.
