Post #2: Conflict -- Open until Nov. 30th

The purpose of this post is to make text-to-text connections between Night and other novels.  This post will be in your own voice/words, not your novel’s character.

• Post = Explain/describe a major conflict within a novel you are reading (or have read).  Is this an internal struggle or are you battling some external force?  Then, compare or contrast your character’s conflict with an internal or external conflict experienced in Night.  Provide details and write a paragraph of 4-5 sentences in length.

• Response = Respond to another classmate’s post by comparing or contrasting your novel’s conflict with theirs.  Provide a detail from your novel to support your response which should be a minimum 3 sentences in length.

Don’t forget to mention your book title within your post and your response.

Post #1: Characterization - Open until Friday, Nov. 14th

Get inside your protagonist’s skin and write both your post and response in his or her voice (1^st person).

·         Post = Show your understanding of indirect characterization by describing an event or relationship in a way that reveals your character’s personality through speech, thought, actions, appearance, or effect on others.  Within the same post, show your understanding of direct characterization by specifically describing (and naming) your novel’s antagonist.  Focus on the characters, not the plot!

·         Response = React to another character’s (classmate’s) post in your own character’s voice by comparing or contrasting an experience or feeling they have with your own experiences or feelings.  Be specific and provide details.  Depending on the type of person your character is, you may side with the other post’s protagonist or antagonist.

Don’t forget to sign your character’s name and book title to your post and response.
