GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Our goal this week is to reach the half-way point in our reading of The Color Purple. We will also continue to view the film in anticipation of a compare and contrast review.

DAY	CLASSWORK	HOMEWORK
MONDAY	Read pgs 87-97 aloud in class View 20 minutes of film.
TUESDAY	Read pgs 98-118 aloud in class. Discuss and analyze the characters and their motivations. What are the psychological explanations for what they do?
WEDNESDAY	Continue reading aloud in class. If, as one of your classmates has stated, "The Color Purple" is simply about bashing abominable men, WHY do you think this was a runaway bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winning novel?
THURSDAY	Continue viewing film to the point we've read
FRIDAY	Pupil Free Day
