Submit two (2) of each of the following by Wednesday, December 1. I will pick several and post them to the website that evening. Be prepared to discuss them in class on Thursday., December 2nd. Questions may address any and all aspects of The Pearl.
WORLD CONNECTION QUESTION
Write a question connecting the text to the real world.
Example: When you realize how badly you’ve mistreated someone, how do you go about making things right between you?
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: Based on evidence in Chapter Two, how is a pearl made?
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: How does the pearl change Kino?
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: After reading Steinbeck’s Pearl, how do you feel cooperation should be balanced with individuality?
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, poetic form, archetypal hero patterns, for example?
Example: In The Pearl, how does Steinbeck use simile and metaphor to show Kino’s loss of humanity when he kills the trackers?
