Please take a moment this afternoon and review the slides regarding your Socratic Seminar this week. Try to generate those three open-ended questions related to a topic or theme that you'll likely explore in your literary response essay of The Pearl.Remember, your questions or comments about the novel, it's themes, or the author moves Steinbeck employed need not be perfect, in fact they could be related to points or passages that confused or intrigued you. The point is to explore and develop ideas through a respectful discussion with your classmates. (20 minutes). Good luck Scholars,

Use examples from the novel to justify your opinions about how each theme is explored and portrayed by the author.

An author creates characters through dialogue and their reactions to plot events. What situation has provoked Wilse and John to argue about slavery? What do their differing attitudes toward slavery reveal about each man’s character? Highlight textual evidence to support your ideas and write annotations to explain your choices.

As part of the Capstone Novel Project, the Novel Essay is the second step.  Students reread a favorite novel or non-fiction book and kept a reading journal of at least 8 quotes with a short summary as to each of the quote's significance.  Using only the 8 quotes and a reflection about how rereading the work changed their perception of a character, theme, or event, they wrote a 1 1/2 to 2 page essay discussing their interpretations, analysis and ruminations.  No research was allowed.
