In-Class:

• Journal: Crooks tells Lennie that a man needs to have someone around in his life in order for him to be happy. He says it doesn't matter who it is; there just needs to be someone there.  Otherwise, he's too alone. Do you agree with this statement? Explain.
• I collected the character similarities worksheet homework
• We took a reading quiz on chapters 4-6 of the book.
• We had a class debate on whether or not George did the right thing by killing Lennie. We then had a debate on whether or not the death penalty is right.  Students chose a side of the room and were allowed to change sides throughout the debate. 
• Students wrote a reflection about the debate.

Homework:
