Monday

Today - we are going to perform your poems and then I will give you time to work on your Readers Response essays.

Remember for the essays:

1) It should mention the reader and the reader as an active participant in the process of interpretations.
2) Possible topics could include:  Characters - how you or society would interpret a character today (or what a character means today).  You might briefly research how the book was view in its day (vs. how it is view today).  Or, How you, as the reader, make sense of certain scenes or situations.  Or, how something in the book relates to your life.  Or you can look at the gaps in the book - what is missing, and perhaps how you make sense of what is missing. 

There really is not wrong topic - as long as you connect it to the reader.

3) The essays need to be 2-3 pages and are due on Friday. 

Remember, also that we are moving on to PART 6 on Friday as well.
