11.12 - Zodiac Signs and Object Tracking

At the beginning of class today, everyone looked at the response they wrote on Friday describing their personality. With this description in mind, everyone read up on what their personality should be like according to their zodiac sign and then responded to the following prompt:

How well does your description of your personality match the prescribed description of your zodiac sign personality?
Overall, do you believe this is a credible way to describe someone's personality? Why or why not?

After everyone had a chance to respond to this prompt, we discussed individuals' answers. Our discussion addressed how there is no scientific basis for these descriptions being correct, what is meaningful is the discussion that comes out regarding how people see themselves and what evidence they use to describe themselves.

We then returned to working with our object tracking in Lord of the Flies. Everyone met with their object partner and got their list of references to their object kept up to date through chapter 11 in Lord of the Flies.

Homework:

Finish reading Lord of the Flies.
Keep track of references to your character, place, and object with your sticky notes.
