Choose one passage (1/2 page to a full page) from the first 3rd of the text that you think is particularly meaningful and important. This passage could connect to the author’s purpose, exemplify the author’s style, be evocative or controversial, or convey a strong tone toward the subject. It should be remarkable in some way. Explain (in writing) why you chose this particular purpose.
Classwork:
1. In groups, discuss the passages that you chose for warm-up. This discussion must include the group flipping to that passage, reading it, and then talking about why it is important to the text. For 2 of the passages that your group mates choose, write under your warm-up ways in which their passages are similar to or different from the passage that you chose.
2. 2. As a group, write 5 quiz questions about the book. Your questions can be multiple choice or true/false, but they should be thoughtful and should cover important aspects of the book. We will likely use any good questions on a future quiz on your book, so it would be to your group’s advantage to do these well to ensure that you will get at least a few questions correct.
3. 3. If you have any extra time, discuss the book or keep reading.
