===**Class Observation June 6, 2011:** ===

This class is an eighth grade English class in Braintree, Massachusetts. The students have been discussing how the theme of power relates to the novels they have read throughout the year. The goal of this lesson is two fold: (1) Students will be able to categorize how the novels' characters connect to the concepts of obtaining, fighting, fearing, and desiring power. (2) Students will use experiences with literature, their personal lives and history to prove what makes a person powerful.

The following worksheets are distributed to the students during the class:
