Submit one (1) of each of the following question type by Tuesday, October 11. I will pick several and post them to the website Wednesday night. Be prepared to discuss them in class on Thursday, October 13.
You also need to provide a possible answer with a reference to the text for each questions.
WORLD CONNECTION QUESTION
Write a question connecting the text to the real world.
Example: When you are lost, what strategies do you use to get “found”?
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: Why do Jack Merridew and his friends dress in uniform?
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: After reading the first three chapters of Lord of the Flies, what conclusions can you draw about Piggy’s personality?
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 the first three chapters of Lord of the Flies, what responsibilities do you feel the strong have toward the weak?
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 opening line, Golding describes Ralph as “[t]he boy with the fair hair.” What implications might his diction choice, “fair,” suggest to the reader?
