Circle: Whats the last promise you broke?

Finish Inside the Teenage Brain
Getting into groups of 2-3 review notes and do a brief presentation about what you learned.  For example: What surprised you?  What did you already know?  What is something you've always suspected but only upon seeing this documentary do you come to realize is true?  What is something you disagreed with?  Other?

Who are you?  Write it down.

Goal:Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
Activity: Using your laptop review and encapsulate Ericksons Theory of Identity Formation.  What are the key parts, explain using your own words. Brief presentation.  What do you would be like if you didn't go through adolescence like teenagers in different cultures?

Goal:[Students can engage in research/inquiry to investigate topics, and to analyze, integrate, and present information.]
I AM activity
Fill out sheets and these will be collected.  After completing I AM sheet review the link and write a reaction.  What stands out to you?  What surprises you?  Why do you think everyone writes such similar things?  How does this make you look at  yourself and what you wrote? This will be started in class and finished at home for homework.
Students I am Poems

Next Class
Letter to your teenage self: You will be writing a letter to your son or daughter that you will not see until they are 18.  You have volunteered to travel to Mars and the trip lasts 18 years.  Your son, if you are a boy, or your daughter if you are a female,  will need some advice about what its like to be a teenager from their same sex parent.  The only way you will be able to communicate with him is through a letter that you wrote at their birth and will open on their 13th birthday.  What advice would you give them about school, teachers, sex, relationships, peer pressure etc?  This letter should be addressed directly to them.  Please give them a name.  This will be finished for homework.
