Happy Thursday
Happy Thursday! Congratulations on finding the right classroom. Today, we will delve into Big Questions (BQs) that will guide our discussions and connect our readings to personal insights and the world around us. We'll focus on the BQ for "Of Mice and Men": "Am I my brother's keeper?" Reflect on its meaning and your views—do you agree or disagree? Afterward, we'll break down the title and reflect on how these exercises might reveal the themes of the book. Let’s explore together!

What are Big Questions (BQs)? • BQs will help us… • Participate in effective discussions • Connect what we learn to ourselves, the world, and other texts we have read • Assess what we are reading
Our BQ for Of Mice and Men is… Am I my brother’s keeper? Part I: Take some time to reflect/write on… • what you think it means • what you think about the concept (agree? disagree?) • anything else that comes to mind
Part III • Think about our BQ and the writing you did on it • Am I my brother’s keeper? • Think about the title breakdown you just completed Take a few moments to reflect on these two exercises. What do you think the book will be about? Why?
