Submit one (1) of each of the following by Wednesday, January 26th. I will pick several and post them to the website that evening. Be prepared to discuss them in class on Thursday., January 27th. Questions may address any and all aspects of Anthem, but particular emphasis should be placed on the second half of the book.
WORLD CONNECTION QUESTIONS
Write one question connecting the text to the real world.
Example: How do you feel when others depend on you for success of the group?
CLOSE-ENDED QUESTIONS
Write one 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: In Chapter 3, which two chemical elements does Equality 7-2521 use to create an electrical current?
OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS
Write one 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: Why does the Council reject Equality 7-2521's light bulb?
UNIVERSAL THEME/ CORE QUESTIONS
Write one question dealing with a theme(s) of the text that will encourage group discussion about the universality of the text.
Example: After reading Anthem, do you feel it is more important to live individually or as part of a group?
LITERARY ANALYSIS QUESTIONS
Write two questions 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 Anthem, why does Rand surround the village by an "uncharted forest"?
