DISCUSSION

In preparation for each seminar, you will:

1. Pick ONE (1) passage from the reading that you think reflects the PARADIGM that has been chosen for that week Answer the paradigm questions as they relate to that section of the novel. Find one quotation from the section of the novel that supports the paradigm. Consult the paradigm prompts on the next page to help you answer the questions each week. When you meet in our seminar, you will be sharing your answers to these questions as well as the one (1) passage that you chose.

Discussion Week 1: Community

Discussion Week 2: Identity

Discussion Week 3: Relationships

Discussion Week 4: Challenges and Sovereignty

(NOTE: You will be doubling your PARADIGMS for this last discussion seminar.)

 

2. Create an excellent discussion question about the reading to ask during the seminar. You will pose the question and ask for everyone's feedback. Your question should be a "higher-level thinking question" (i.e. It should require thoughtful analysis). Make notes on your own answers so your can share them with the class as part of the discussion.

Topics to consider:

• The purpose of imagery / setting / description
• The author's use of minor characters to develop / stretch / influence the protagonist
• The development of the protagonist and the lessons we are to learn
• The use of conflict to increase suspense
• Use of language / symbolism / humour / irony

Possible question starters / prompts:

• Predictions such as - What if... What might... What would happen if.
• Connections such as - Why do you think... What do you think about..
• Analysis such as - What caused... How did....
• "What So What"

3. Pick one (1) passage from the reading that you want to read aloud and talk about during the seminar. For each passage, create a discussion question and record your own reflection.

• Possible reasons for picking a passage may include:
• Great example of description / imagery
• Setting / atmosphere develops the mood and generates suspense
• Language is humorous or has great examples of figurative devices and symbols
• Connects to a text from class
• Escalates conflict and tension
• Passage is surprising or makes a great point that you hadn't considered
• Thought-provoking
