There There Opening Discussion (3-26)

Connect: In the Prologue, explain one excerpt that taught you a new historical fact. Does this contrast with what you previously learned in school?

Practice MLA Citations: Go back into the Prologue and find a passage that you feel is important. In quotations, write the first 5 words of the sentence followed by an ellipsis (...). Then, write the author's last name and ONLY the number/range of the page.

Ex. "We've been defined by everyone..." (Orange 7).

Explain: What are some characteristics our first character, Tony? Describe using specific details.

Analyze: Why do you think the author would open his book with a character like Tony?

Recall: What plan is revealed at the end of Tony's Chapter? Why may this be important to the theme?
