Lit Circles Section 3: Conflict

Good morning everyone,

Here is the plan for our first Wednesday in class! Discussion #3 is today, and I will be listening in on most of your discussions today, and some tomorrow.

This section’s literary element is conflict. We are now 1/3 of the way through the novel, so you should have some idea about what type(s) of conflict are driving the plot. Discuss and update your literary element log with evidence, but also a conflict statement.

When your group is finished the discussion, update self assessment, rotate roles, and begin reading Section 4: “Slouching Toward Thanksgiving” up to not including “Rowdy Gives Advice About Love”

Notice that you have a discussion again tomorrow, in the second half of class. I made this reading section a little shorter to account for that, but you may have some homework tonight, so use your class time wisely.

The first 4 sets of notes are due on Sunday evening, I am giving you a bit more time, so that you can add more detail etc. Please fill out a reflection form and hand in on teams when completed.
