Book Club Meeting #2

Excellent book club meeting yesterday!  I could tell who had worked hard on their discussion questions, and it was wonderful to hear the amazing conversations about your books.  You delved deeply into character, setting, making predictions and answering your critical thinking questions.  Keep up the amazing effort!  I am extremely proud of your hard work!

Here are the questions for Meeting #2: Due next Friday!

Meeting #2:

1. What is most surprising in the novel so far? Why?
2. Words of the Wiser... When an older character shares his or her understanding, insight, or advice on an issue or topic, stop and think about it.  These insights/story or advice usually reveals something important about the theme.   Find an example of Words of the Wiser in your novel.    Ask yourself, "What's the life lesson, and how might it affect the character?"  The important lesson offered here is that....   Explain your answer. 
3. Choose a quote that stands out to you as important to the novel. Explain why you think it is important.
4. How does the author use language in the novel?  What is the overall effect?  How does the language shape the novel?  Come with specific examples from the novel.
5. Using the Q-Chart as your guide to higher level thinking questions, create 2 questions for your group. Prepare your answers, but share them only after each member has had a chance to answer the question.
