IMPORTANT:You must create a limited blogger profile in order to comment and respond.
Directions: Write a response to the first 170 pages in The Book Thief (Prologue and Parts I, II and III). After your response, skip a line and write ONE higher level question for your classmates to answer. Higher level questions are ones in which many answers may exist. They often begin with the words "Why" or How."
Use these questions to guide your response; however, you do not need to respond to all (or any) of them if you have your own ideas. What has sparked emotion for you? What opinions have you formed about specific characters? Is anything confusing you? Has specific word choice used by Zusak spoken to you in a particular way? Consider symbolism, irony, setting, characterization, and imagery/figurative language.
When you answer, please use the conventions of Standard English. This is a school assignment, not an Instagram post. Make sure you comment on at least two other posts after you have written yours. Poorly written or inappropriate comments will be deleted by Mrs. Groom and not count towards your score.
Learning Targets:
1. Use technology to produce and publish writing and present the information between information and ideas efficiently as well as to interact and collaborate with others.
2. Read material to prepare for and participate in a conversation and collaborate with diverse partners.
3. Analyze how particular lines of dialogue or incidents in The Book Thief propel the action, reveal aspects of character, or provoke a decision.
