1. Introduce idea of character analysis
2. What do the first two paragraphs tell us about the story? Looking closely at the language, what kind of tone is set? (remember when we talk about tone we use adjectives; move beyond the basic)
3. How is the idea of struggle set forth in the first four chapters?
4. What's up with that turtle? What could the turtle symbolize?
As time permits ...
5. A little free write post-video to get us thinking about the Joads and their migration.
You suddenly have to leave your home. You must leave your belongings behind, and, aside from a few clothes, you can take only four of your possessions. What would you take? In a letter to a friend, identify these possessions. Then explain what those items mean to you and why you chose as you did. Include your feelings about the items you had to leave behind and any anger or frustration that you felt, as well as sadness.
