Lesson Objectives - Students will examine a Level Up Tutorial that explains the concept of character motivation.  After a small group discussion and presentation that shows their understanding of these ideas in relation to a character found in a movie, television show, or book, they will then apply these ideas to the story "Marigolds."
Homework - Students should continue working on their Visual Presentation due on Monday, March 7th.  They will take their Vocabulary Unit 11 quiz tomorrow so they should bring their completed flash cards.
