Class Notes

Friday February 17, 2012
After checking our homework, we worked on  the discussion questions for the last few chapters of Son of Charlemagne.  If you didn't complete it before class was over, you must complete it over break.  I had hoped all of you would finish so your workload would be less, but all of you did not bring your book to class.  Please, until we start a new book, bring the latest book to class.
For the book report you have to do on Son of Charlemagne, follow the directions carefully.  Make sure you underline the title and don't forget the author!  You must write about the 2 main characters.  They are Charlemagne and Carl.  Start with either one, it doesn't matter.  Then you need to pick a 3rd character to write about.  Your choice.  When you write about the character, go back to your Story Elements notes and see what you should know about the characters from them.  Write that type of answer please.  You may also add your own analysis of those characters.  Action/Involvement means where/how did this character relate to the plot.  What was his/her role in the plot.  Setting/Place is for the entire book.  There will be more than one!  The "mood" refers to the overall mood of the book.  Again, consult your notes for the way to answer this one.  The questions about "problem", consult "Plot" in your notes.  Use the terminolgy of elements please.  Then your recommendation is in your own words.  What did you think of the book, why, be specific, please.  Use your book for all of these.  Go back in to the book for your answers.

Have a great Break!
