  2. Coming of Age Sophomore Year Essential Question: How do we respond to adversity?

  3. 1. What turning points determine our individual pathways to adulthood?2. How can we learn about ourselves by studying the lives of others? 2 things to consider when answering our essential question:

  4. Quick Write Journal:In your notes section write down the following questions and answer in a few sentences: • How are you a child still? • How are you an adult? After answering these questions, discuss with your rows

  5. How do we mature? • In your rows… • Brainstorm 15 ways we mature and jot them down. Work to finish the phrase: “I will know I’ve grown up when…” • Miss Philipp’s Example: I knew I was grown up when I didn’t get an Easter basket from the Easter bunny anymore.

  6. Determining Importance • Determine the most important or most reliable indications of maturity, and the least reliable indications. Be prepared to explainyour conclusions.

  7. Coming-of-Age Genre: • Many stories depict their protagonist growing up or coming of age. The coming‐of‐age stories typically trace the protagonist's growth from a self‐absorbed, immature individual into an expansive, mature human being concerned with the welfare of others and his/her place in the world scheme.

  8. Coming-of-Age Genre C.S. Lewis says, “We read to know we are not alone.”

  9. Coming-of-Age Genre &how does it show us we are not alone? 3 Key Characteristics • 1. Loss of Innocence • 2. Clash between personal desires and societal expectations • 3. Predictions about how the character will fit into adult society

  10. Popular Coming-of-Age Novels or Stories? • In your row groups brainstorm a list of stories and/or novels you’ve read that fit this genre.

  13. Today’s objectives 9/13/2013 You will be able to: • Analyze “The Wonder Years” representation of character losing his innocence • Make connections and predictions with your peers about the character of Kevin • Consider your own “loss of innocence” HOMEWORK: Identity map, paragraph, and presentation due Monday

  14. Understanding our focus • When a person experiences loss of innocence it is usually at a point in life and/or through an experience where the reality clicks in and we come to grips with the hardships of life. • Thus, we have to respond to adversity • Coming of age is a focus tied to dealing with adversity: We are all ‘innocent’ or unaware of many things at a young age • As we mature and become older (coming of age) we learn more about the realities of life and thus are exposed to events that cause us to loose that innocence! The idea that it is all rainbows and butterflies=false

  15. Your Job For Today: • Focus on Kevin’s dilemmas/struggles • How does he respond to events and other characters? • Does he lose his innocence? If so when? • Afterwards work with your peers to make predictions about his adjustment to adult society. Compare his situation to you and your own experiences in life

  16. Coming-of-age in “The Wonder Years” • As we watch this short TV show, in a 3-column chart, note examples of: • 1. Loss of Innocence • 2. Clash between personal desires and societal expectations • 3. Predictions • Afterward, you will make predictions about how the protagonist (main character), Kevin, will fit into adult society

  17. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Da7rEUqYAIn your desk groups, discuss what you found and write your group’s predictions about how Kevin will fit into society.

  18. Identity Map • 5-6 events that represent your journey towards maturity (your coming of age process). • Events should be arranged in chronological order, with arrows drawn between each item to designate the correct order of events. • You may use any materials to create this: pictures, drawings, stickers, magazine materials, etc. BE CREATIVE! • You will write a one-page paper explaining your map and present a portion of it to class.
