Today, you read your independent novels and then answered the following question:
Summarize the expository information from your novel (the time, place, characters and their connections to each other, environment and initial incident if you are there).
We then discussed how to approach a personal response to literature question correctly. Students wrote the essay yesterday and had questions so the class was spent figuring out how to take a command statement, make it into a question, and then find a path to answering it. In the end, we cam up with a few points (listed below):
1 underline the key words
2. define the key words and terms
3. make a chart and list the points from your reading that would demonstrate the key terms
4. use this as a basis of developing your argument
5. examine your own experiences and find a situation that also reflects your key term based thesis.
