Guidelines+and+Instructions


 * April 23**: Answer your discussion questions -- mine and the ones you're generating. Remember to put page number for quotes, and quotations around the passage.


 * April 17**: Go to your Literature Circle link (listed below). Go to the Discussion link at top and answer my question. I also encourage you to begin another discussion by posting a new question. Make sure you follow my subject-heading model so we can keep the dates and discussion leader clear.

Ideas For Possible Discussion Questions

April 16: Listed below are your Lit Circle Groups for the fourth quarter. Each group has their own wikispace page. Here you can set up your reading schedule schedule and provide group messages. I encourage you to use the DISCUSSION tool for your literature discussions. We'll get into this more as begin reading our novels.

In the meantime, READ. I want you to pay particular attention to the beginning of your novels, particularly the first 4-5 pages. As a group try to brainstorm what the author is doing to create their lead. What's the setting? What character(s) are introduced? What's the problem? What questions do you have as a reader?
