STARTER 1.28 SURVEY: Feedback on our first literature circle
Lit Circle Make-up Assignment
- Copy and paste your prewrite into your group's doc where it goes. Be sure to label it with your name.
- Respond to the notes in the group discussion doc with at least 6 comments. You can answer your peers' questions, interpret their passages, or respond to anything in the discussion notes.
- Answer Jessica's questions in writing at the bottom of the doc clearly labeled with your name.
Let's talk about the questions!
- How is Into the Wild an “intertextual” work? How does its intertextuality aid us in interpreting the meaning?
- Why do you think Chris (Alex) is yearning so strongly for this Alaskan adventure?
- Why does Franz lose his religion (p.60)? Why might anyone?
