Relevancy  Responses for Literature Circles 2011

After choosing a question from the list, each group member will bring in an additional, outside source that addresses the issue(s) in the novel and the question(s).  That information will be shared with group members during the next discussion session and used to help write the formal response.  Each article must include proper MLA source and citation information.

As a group, you will write a 250 word paragraph that answers the question(s) you chose.  You must incorporate information from each group member’s source.  Additionally, a quote from one of the sources needs to be incorporated into the paragraph, along with one from the novel. The paragraph will be written during one discussion session and a rough draft is due before the end of the period.  The final word processed, double spaced document is due the following session.

* If you feel your group cannot possibly respond to any of the 27 listed questions, then you may ask to develop one of your own. You may not do this without prior discussion with the teacher and approval of the question.
