Part 1
Sort the following words from Amy Tan’s Two Kinds into 4 groups. You will then label each group with a specific title. You must create 4 groups – a group can contain as few as two words from the list. Be prepared to share your List Group Label with the class and defend your decisions.

Part 2
Write a short narrative using all of the words from one of your lists. Give it a title.

Picture
Do Now
​Among many other things, cell phone studies have shown:
  • One in three teens sends more than 100 text messages a day, or 3000 texts a month.
  • More than half of teens (56%) associate the absence of their phone with at least one of three emotions: loneliness, being upset or feeling anxious. Girls are more likely than boys to feel anxious or lonely without their phone.
  • Roughly four-in-ten teen cellphone users (43%) say they often or sometimes use their phone to avoid interacting with people. This is truer for teen girls than teen boys. Roughly half of teen girls who have access to a cellphone (54%) say they often or sometimes use their mobile device to avoid social interaction, while 31% of teen boys report doing the same.

What do you think? Are any of these findings true for you? Reflect.
