John Hughes' The Breakfast Club takes center stage in a lesson about annotating nonfiction texts to keep track of evidence that may be used later in discussions and writings. Scholars consider the stereotypes and conflicts presented in the film trailer and then read a series of newspaper articles that dispel these stereotypes, annotating as they go. Learners then craft a personal response that makes real-world connections to the articles and their own experience with stereotypes, cliques, and conflicts.
