Read book.
Work on group work.
More essay talk.
Doners -
Find two scenes in the book that you can use to do TWO things
Make a poster in any way you can - draw, cut out, collage, design on computer, etc, and show me the drama of THAT scene
Make a little play script of that scene WITH action, dialogue and character description. WRITE it. (GOOGLE how to format a play script - NOTE you can use a movie script format too) (a couple pages is lots)
We need to write a class essay:
Mara uses her perseverance to save her people.
Mara makes multiple rebellious decisions in the book that people do not agree with.
Mara uses her intelligence to try and save herself and the people of her city.
Mara deals with hardships that change her as a person.
Intelligent people weren’t always looked at as positive.
Mara is a selfless hero throughout the book because she tries to save other people before herself.
Possibilities:
Can we focus on something besides Mara, but talk about Mara in the topic?
Can we combine what we know about our own world and experiences?
Topic Ideas:
Rebellion
Perseverance
Intelligence
Selflessness (giving of oneself - making sacrifices for others)
Status
Cruelty
Global warming
Realistic elements
Try to combine THREE of the topic areas above with a value statement that causes you to look at HOW the subject is treated in the book and allows you to look at stuff in the real world.
eg - rebellion can be a good thing and have a positive outcome.
