Choice Unit--Day 2

Today we began with 15 minutes of reading time (outside reading books). Then, we took a reading quiz. Finally, students worked on reading and creating discussion questions, which are due tomorrow.

Homework: Read the assigned pages in your book, per your bookmark. Also, create 5 open-ended discussion questions. That is, questions about your book that will spark and maintain discussion--questions about characters, plot, symbolism, theme, etc. The questions SHOULD NOT have yes/no answers, and SHOULD NOT have a definite answer from the book. Hopefully, someone in your group will disagree with your answer to a question, thus sparking a discussion. For each of the discussion questions, you must provide a minimum, 100-word answer. So, 5 questions and 5 100-word responses.

YOUR QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES MUST BE TYPED!! YOUR QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES MUST ALSO BE ORIGINAL. THIS IS AN INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT. IF YOU HAVE THE SAME QUESTIONS AND/OR ANSWERS AS SOMEONE ELSE IN YOUR GROUP OR IN ANOTHER CLASS, YOU HAVE COMMITTED PLAGIARISM AND WILL FACE CONSEQUENCES FOR ACADEMIC DISHONESTY.

If you were absent, you missed a quiz, and must complete the following as a make-up:

Find a significant quote from the reading for Wednesday. Type out the quote , then describe the context of the quote in detail (100 words) and discuss the significance of the quote to the book as a whole (100 words). This response MUST BE TYPED.
