WEEKLY STANDARDS: 1.1E, 1.3C, 1.3D, 1.1G, 1.5B, 1.6D, 1.6E

TOPIC: Cause/Effect Relationships & Introduction to Poetry

Objective: Students will examine cause/effect relationships and irony in a first-person narrative.

Journal: What types of activities do people do that are potentially dangerous? (Think: Climbing a mountain, bungee jumping, sky-diving, etc.)  Why do people attempt things they know might kill/harm them? Have you ever attempted to do something you knew might hurt/kill you?  What motivated you to do this?  Why do people get a “thrill” from doing things that are dangerous?
