Learning Objectives:
I can…

• examine how choices define a character

• recognize and use transitions that indicate time order

Opening:

1. Pair up and discuss your responses to the Quickwrites on page 18.

Work Period:

2. As we read, do the following:

• How do authors create realistic characters?  As we read "A Hundred Bucks of Happy," take notes on the narrator in the "My Notes" section.
• What do the choices of the narrator reveal about this character? Highlight the choices the character makes throughout the narrative. (Look for eight choices)

Closing:

3.  In your small group, review the choices that the narrator makes.  Orally retell the sequence of events - so far.

• Use transitional words from the poster to retell the sequence of events.
