British Book Clubbing, Day 6: March 19, 2018

Focus: What is resolved at the end of your novel, and what is left unresolved?

1. Warming up with three good things

2. Considering how it all ends:

Reread the first three pages and the last three pages of your book.
  • What has been resolved?
  • What has been left unresolved?
  • Who is the (tragic) hero of your novel, and what has he/she come to realize that he/she didn't know at the beginning?

Revisit the title of your novel. 
  • Why did your author select this title? 
  • How has its significance shifted throughout your novel?

3. Enjoying Day 6 of your British Book Clubs (since I'm not here today, please keep slightly more meticulous notes)

4. Wrapping up with your final exit ticket

HW:
1. For TUESDAY: Draft your possible culminating essay prompt (you may have several, and that's fine) and start piecing together your book list. E-mail them to me. If you were absent on Thursday, you kind of missed everything. Stop by today or tomorrow.

2. For next WEDNESDAY, March 21: Study Academic Vocabulary, Units 1-7 for a cumulative quiz. No new words before spring break.

3. For the TUESDAY after break: Complete your big question blog on your British novel.
