Locate 3 passages of the story that your group should reread, discuss, and think about.
Passages should be important things for everyone to notice, remember, or think
about.
Choose a variety of passages, not all the same type--here are suggestions:

surprising/startling
confusing (something you wonder if other people understood)
descriptive writing: figurative language, strong verbs, etc. (identify literary devices) important
(maybe a clue? foreshadowing?)
controversial
event (elicits different opinions from group members)

During Your Group Meeting, Do the Following:

1.
Make sure everyone opens to the right page and help them find where the passage begins.
2. Either
read it aloud yourself, have everyone read it silently, or ask someone to read it
3. Tell your
reasons for selecting each passage; ask for comments. Do they agree with your choices?
Page __139_____ Paragraph(s) __3___ The first 3 words of the paragraph are: __ Conservatives sought
segregation to protect black people and their __________ This is interesting (or puzzling) because: the
difference of thinking between those of the societies in the 50s and 60s and those of todays societies are
totally opposite. While in those years people though segregation was the key to live a peaceful life; today
the tendency is towards inclusion and tolerance. Mainly because it has been proven that segregation lead to
hate, envy and anger while inclusion encourages diversity.
An interpretation that can be made from ANOTHER

PASSAGE, FOUND on Page ___140______,

Paragraph __3_____ is that segregation resulted beneficial for black people economically speaking.

because the black people realized that they could take advantage of the segregation because white people
was out of the competition in the markets where the audience was black people. This way many people got
a better lifestyle.
In today's reading, a CONNECTION to my personal experience and/or my knowledge appears on Page
____149_____, Paragraph ___3___ and is that no one has any excuse to not achieve their goals. Even if the
circumstances are all against, everybody should find a way to overcome difficulties and avoid mediocrity
and laziness. Martin Luther King said so in the quote: We must not let the fact that we are victims of

injustice lull us into abrogating responsibility for our lives. We must not use our oppression as an excuse
for mediocrity and laziness

My comment or question about this story is:

There is always a way to overcome difficult situations the only thing people need is their own wit,
perseverance and creativity.
