1. Warming up with three good things, your Night-Before Checklist, and www.turnitin.com
Turnitin.com
Class ID: 19130809
Enrollment Key: Leclaire
2. Composing your first journal entries and answering each other's questions
- Find three passages from the first 15 pages. Type them out.
- For each one, ask a Level 1 and/or a Level 2 question (or two Level 2 questions).
- Hit the "Publish" button!
Sample: When Oskar asks his dad why the earth doesn't fall through the universe, his dad replies, "The earth does fall through the universe...It's constantly falling toward the sun. That's what it means to orbit" (Foer 12).
Level 1 Question: Why is Oskar so interested in science?
Level 2 Question: How is Oskar "constantly falling" in the first chapter of the book, and what is keeping him in orbit?
Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat. You want to do have at least three passages, each with two good discussion questions.
- Note: If you'd like to listen to someone read the book aloud, click HERE for the audiobook. You can do a free 30-day trial, but I believe you do need a credit card number.
3. Responding to at least two other people's questions and group-sharing your favorites
4. Setting up our Fishbowl discussions (all handouts linked to class website)
1. For TUESDAY: Polish your final draft using the Night-Before Checklist. Submit it to www.turnitin.com
2. For THURSDAY: Finish reading through page 85 for Thursday's first Fishbowl discussion. For your second journal entry, I'd like you to perform the same activity we did in class yesterday:
- Find three passages from pages 16-52. Type them out.
- For each one, ask a Level 1 and a Level 2 question (or two Level 2 questions if nothing is confusing you).
- Hit the "Publish" button!
- Note: If you'd like to listen to someone read the book aloud, click HERE for the audiobook. You can do a free 30-day trial, but I believe you do need a credit card number.
