Today we read an article about a high school football game played in Texas a few years ago. The coach of Grapevine, Texas' team asked his fans to cheer for their opponents for just one game. Grapevine was playing Gainesville, a team formed from teenagers in prison. Two hundred fans cheered on Gainesville and sent them home with care packages. We then discussed how this related to stereotypes and our journals about gangs.
Homework:
If you did not complete it in class, finish the WS about the article. 11th period did the worksheet as a class discussion and has no homework.
Next week: We are reading chapters one and two of The Outsiders.
