Today was all about debriefing/reviewing the text.
We talked about questions remaining - the place of hope in "dystopia" - the complex relationships in the work.
Students brainstormed key ideas (themes) related to the text - their homework is to create a more sophisticated theme web - beyond those of texts past. Students are to create sub-branches between big ideas, and to branch off those ideas to characters/events/moments in the text.
Ie - HOPE might be a big idea - subsets of hope might be Family/Love/Culture - and branches of these would include different ideas/examples of family in the text/Examples of love (relationships and gestures)/ways in which culture offers hope for future generations...
HMWRK - Work on the theme web - you will only have 30 minutes of class time to work on it tomorrow (doesn't have to be fancy) REMEMBER TO BRING A BOOK ON FRIDAY
