Monday and Tuesday's Assignment

Here is the assignment that will be posted on the calendar on Ramapo Islands:
For Monday and Tuesday

You should be well into your books by now. I would like you to begin by talking about your reactions to what is occurring in the story thus far. After you share your thoughts, please discuss the following:

• What is the writing style of the author? Consider literary elements we have discussed in the past. Do you like the author’s style of writing?

• Using plot points, decide what message the author gives the reader about friends, family, fear, survival, peer pressure, et cetera.

• Discuss what the author might be saying about relationships (could be familial, friend, love) based on the relationships between characters in the novel.

• Why do you think the author wrote this book?

PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE TEXT BASED DETAILS.

PARTICIPATION IS KEY…ALL CONVERSATIONS ARE GOING TO BE GRADED.

Hi,

I'd just like to say that I think that what you're doing is way cool.

I'm a teacher in the Middle East doing a MEdTech at USQ and I've used your blog about SL as an example of student engagement.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
