While reading the book the students will be asked to plot the instances of foreshadowing, and the steps they take as they try to follow and solve all of the connections and mysteries in the story. This can be done in a variety of ways: Journaling, Blogging, Colorful hand written chart/projects, or even an Excel Sheet. This is basically the average reading response, but the motive is to make sure to plot major foreshadowing events, as well as important plot points.
Students will bring these to class at the conclusion of our reading of the novel, and will be prompted to explain how their specific creative idea helped them understand and enjoy the novel better.
The grading will be based on the students creativity, as well as how effectively they found/sought out the important points, and foreshadowing moments. It will be very obvious if they did not read the book I believe and it will show in these projects.
The scale will be check minus, check, and check plus.
Check minus—will only be given if it is clear that the student did not perform the task that was given to them
Check—if the work was satisfactory, all instructions were followed, and they produced a somewhat original response
Check Plus—students that went above and beyond the task through quality of work, creativity, and originality
