Exodus
Character
Setting (mood, place and time)
Plot (events and action)
Theme - (The Big Picture, the main idea, a book could have different themes, the GIST, THE MEANING)
The way that a novel is studied can kind of break down into:
Explicit information - easy - who, what, where, when
Implicit information - more complex - you need to think some
Making connections to our lives and the real world - most complex - it requires that you know stuff and this is where things can get ugly
ie remember our Bible conversation?
ie remember our Global Warming conversation?
This is where WE need to bring our thinking into the story.
Working on Explicit Info - Reading Circle -
Pick 5 characters and briefly get them into a graphic organizer of relationship.
For each, have ONE sentence to EPITOMIZE each. Put it into the character map.
Jot down FIVE facts about Wing.
Write down THREE plot events that you think are crucial (up to the point where you are)
What are the concerns, worries and ideas that they characters are thinking about, talking about or dealing with? List THREE. THESE might have something to do with theme.
Find any ONE thing that you don’t understand (individual) and try to help each other figure out what those things are. NOTE: some people don’t have one.
