Submit two (2) of each of the following by Monday, November 8. I will pick several and post them to the website prior to the socratic seminar. Be prepared to discuss them in class next week.
World Connection Question
Write a question connecting the text to the real world.
Example: How do you stand up to peer pressure?
Close-Ended Question
Write a question about the text that will help everyone in the class come to an agreement about events or characters in the text. This question usually has a “correct” answer.
Example: What was "The Beast"?
Open-Ended Question
Write an insightful question about the text that will require proof and group discussion and “construction of logic” to discover or explore the answer to the question.
Example: In what ways is Simon revealed as a Christ figure?
Universal Theme / Core Question
Write a question dealing with a theme(s) of the text that will encourage group discussion about the universality of the text.
Example: Do the boys truly escape the horrors of the island once they are "rescued"?
Literary Analysis Question
Write a question dealing with HOW an author chose to compose a literary piece. How did the author manipulate point of view, characterization, symbolism, imagery, metaphors, allusions, archetypal hero patterns, for example, to help the reader better understand the story?
Example: Golding characterizes Piggy as myopic or (literally) shortsighted. In what ways does he metaphorically behave shortsightedly?
