Heart of Darkness Journal

Annette Z asked for a list of assignments that should be in the journal and I am only too happy to comply.

1. Follow one motif: Hearts or Hells all the way through the novel in your journal - document the quote and your response.

2. I've pointed out passages along the way that I found interesting, you were to do the same and tell me how and why.

3. You were to check in with your response to Marlow's character every few pages - what things resonate? What's on his mind and why?

4. Quote responses from the handouts - staple quotes to journal (or scan them if your journal is digital) and then compose your responses on separate sheets.

5. Do the same with the guided reading responses.

6. A) character Webs.

6. B) symbols.

7. Final reflection.

8. Extra credit - Found Poem from the text (take a passage and arrange the words as poetry without changing their order. Remember the river I created in the trees passage? If not I'll show you Monday. I'll collect journals Wednesday.

I will be present for Saturday school from 9 - 12 if any of you need to make up work, need a place to work, or simply want to practice something as mundane as thesis writing. Yes, I will offer a full credit grade if you attend.
