English 11 Blog Central

For these chapters, I am mostly interested in you reading and asking questions. You can make comments, but the big push through this section is to ask questions of the text, either for clarity (base level of the rising levels of reading) or for pondering (the middle and upper levels of the rising levels of reading). Everyone was required to come up with a minimum of 10 questions and then your group needs to discuss them together.

When your group finishes, you will discuss and post your most intriguing questions to the wiki page. Then respond in a blog article (minimum 10 sentences). Like earlier, please consider this blog article an extension of your thinking from the discussion. If you like, you can copy and paste questions into your article and respond to them in a Q&A format.

At the finish of chapter 8, please write a 250-300 word reflection on Jem. Call it Jem’s Journal and write the article as if you are Jem and you are thinking back on the events up to this point in the book. Please make sure you consider the events through the end of chapter 8 as well - I will expect evidence in your article that you reached this point in the novel. You may work with your group to compile a list of the events you think would be most importantly discussed from Jem’s perspective.

Please post this article on your blog and print a copy to hand in. I will grade the printed copy but would like you to have it logged in your blog.
