We began today by using 15 minutes to read our outside reading books. Then, choice book groups got together to 1) review vocabulary to be sure that all group members have definitions, etc.; and 2) review the plot of the book, adding boxes to the flow map created on Monday.
If you were absent, add 4 boxes to your flow map from Monday.
Homework: Read assigned passages; complete discussion questions.
**Requirements for Discussion Questions:
1. 5 open-ended, ORIGINAL 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.
2. 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, SOMEONE IN ANOTHER CLASS, OR A RESOURCE FROM THE INTERNET, YOU HAVE COMMITTED PLAGIARISM AND WILL FACE CONSEQUENCES FOR ACADEMIC DISHONESTY.
