For Monday 11/02

Socratic Circle - 

We will begin class with a discussion of theme as it's expressed by character, setting, motif, and symbol. Think in Context of ONE CHARACTER AND THE NOVEL AS A WHOLE. You will have three prompt choices.

*YOUR JOURNALS WILL BE DUE AFTER THE TIMED WRITING. 

There will be a MC test with it. Plan on one hour for both.

You will need to consider what it means to be an outsider to a community and how communities react to outsiders and how this would affect a character in a work.

You should also consider what Janie's choices in men say about her, society, and the theme of the work. How do men broaden her horizons.

You should also consider how a motif or symbol finds expression in a character and in the novel as a whole. What does this say about people, the world, and life in general?


POETRY JOURNAL

Due at the beginning of class. Make sure your questions are completely answered for the poetry beginning with "The Flea".

CHECK BLOG FOR INDEPENDENT NOVEL PROJECT ON MONDAY NIGHT.
