Description
In this lesson, students read pages 77–79 of “Dreaming of Heroes” from Friday Night Lights, in which Don and Charlie Billingsley are introduced and the beginning plays of the season opener football game are described. Students work in small groups to read and analyze the text before working with the Direct and Indirect Reporting Tool, on which students track when Bissinger uses the actual words of the characters and when he reconstructs events, conversations, and emotions in order to advance his own point of view.
