JOURNAL TOPIC:
Explain the name of your favorite musical group. Does the name have a meaning? Does it make sense to people (and is it supposed to)? Who chose it, and why do you think it "stuck"? (Hint: Don't just say "it's catchy"-- there are lots of "catchy" ideas we've never heard of because they didn't catch on.)

3. EXIT TICKET: Write a "thinker's narrative" for the narrator of your novel. If your information is incomplete because you just started reading, include the information you've gotten already and list questions that you'll seek answers to in upcoming pages. (One paper per group.)
