"The Necklace" Five Questions/Comments Homework Assignment
Tonight for homework, while you are doing your assigned reading, think about and write down five questions or five comments that you can share during our class discussion tomorrow. It can be a combination of the two (e.g. 2 questions and 3 comments). Then, during tomorrow’s discussion, you will be required to share at least one question or one comment about the reading.
I will begin by randomly choosing one student to share a question or make a comment about the reading. Every person after that can do any of the following:
1. Answer the previous student’s question
2. Respond to the previous student’s comment
3. Ask their own question
4. Make their own comment
During the discussion, everyone is expected to participate. Using the excuses, “Someone already asked my question” or “I had the same comment” will not be accepted. Therefore, if you’ve exhausted your five questions and/or comments, you may be asked to come up with a question or comment extemporaneously (on the spot).
For your questions, do not ask simple comprehension questions like "who is the main character". Your questions should try and get below the surface to things like character motive, theme, etc. Your comments should be something beyond, "I liked the story" or "I didn't like the story". I'm looking for comments about SPECIFIC things that you observed or reactions you felt while reading the story.
You are to do this in a Google Document and turn in it in using this Google Form.
