Chapter 3

Wednesday-Thursday, we covered chapters 1-3. My hope is that you have an understanding of the setting of the novel - that is, the social dynamics, the values, and culture of the World State. We need to understand the World State before we can understand the characters within it.

Tomorrow we will be working in groups to discuss the novel. You have all been equipped with role sheets that you will need to complete before class. Preparing for conversation should allow you to discuss the novel - the events, the themes, the characters - and also the big ideas and connections you've made.
