JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Celluloid Heroes" by The Kinks, "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" by Warren Zevon, and --depending on time-- "Heroes" by David Bowie]

Why is it that so many young people want to be older, and so many older people want to be young? How do you feel about your age? Be sure to explain your answer.

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Birth Order Groups
3. Traits Group Presentation
4. Birth Order Research Findings


HOMEWORK:
1. Review slides about birth order research findings. Make a T Chart (see example). On the left, write an aspect of the research that applies to your birth order; on the right, write an example from your own life that reflects the accuracy (or inaccuracy) of the research. 

• Use specific pieces of evidence. This needs to be done for class discussion tomorrow (Friday). You should share your findings to the blog too (A+ if you can figure out how to put a T Chart on there). Entitle it: Birth Order Traits.

2. Please comment to the literature analysis #1 sign-up post for your period as soon as you choose a book/author.  If you have one already please bring it tomorrow (Thursday).
