Submit one (1) of each of the following by Saturday, April 7. I will pick several and post them to the website Sunday evening (4/8). Be prepared to discuss them in class on Monday, April 9th. Questions may come from any section of Anthem. Include answers with text support for each question.
WORLD CONNECTION QUESTIONS
Write two questions connecting the text to the real world.
Example: What would you do if your best friend “stole” your boy/girlfriend?
CLOSE-ENDED QUESTIONS
Write two questions 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: Who did Othello and the Venetians travel to Cyprus to fight?
OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS
Write two insightful questions 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 did Iago and Rodrigo screw things up for Othello with Brabantio?
UNIVERSAL THEME/ CORE QUESTIONS
Write two questions dealing with a theme(s) of the text that will encourage group discussion about the universality of the text.
Example: How do you cope with jealousy? (or as RM-6th put it, How do you defeat the green-eyed monster?)
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: What does Shakespeare gain by employing Dramatic Irony when Iago is constantly refered to by others as “honest”?
