Let’s start the discussion on the book To Kill A Mockingbird.

We should go through the basic details first. Give reasons and example for everything you conclude. You should also include the chapter and page of the evidence so we could refer to it.

  1. Who is the main character ?
  2. What is the purpose of this book ?

These are the few questions i could think of. If you have any interesting facts or questions you want to sharee with us, please post and then we could discuss more about it.

That is all. Thanks.

I have e-mailed Brandon the videos of Lim Bo Seng, Adnan Saidi and Force 136. There should be a photo journalism lesson on the week 4 of the holiday. If you are free please come. I will ask my friends or even Ms Lim, when and what time. Those that are going OBS you do not need to come.

In the meantime, we just have to wait for Ms Lim’s post on our English homework. It is quite late. So, i went to 2D’s english blog and found the assignment. I hope we can have a head start on this. As, on week 4, some of us will be going OBS and i will be going on a holiday for 4 days. So, i do not think we have much time. Let’s assign the roles soon first , okay ?

This is the English project :

IMPORTANT: Holiday Assignment will be COUNTED as part of your CA1 for Term 3 (20%)

Instructions:

a) You will be doing this in your project group. Each group will assign one ROLE for EACH MEMBER to focus on.

b) Every member’s contribution will be IMPORTANT, just like your project work and MARKS will be assigned based on EVERYONE’S work and contribution.

YOU are to POST your WORK here in this blog.  Make sure each POST has a CATEGORY added which shows YOUR GROUP NAME or NUMBER!

c) Assign the following roles for each person in group:

Questioner: To come up with interesting DISCUSSION QUESTIONS for the chapters in the book, especially questions like “What does this tell us about…….” or “Why do you think…..”

Vocab Wizard: To pick out IMPORTANT or DIFFICULT WORDS in the chapter and explain what it means to the group. This SHOULD NOT BE just copied from dictionary BUT MUST be EXPLAINED in relation to the TEXT! You can be creative in your explanation and use PHOTOS or DRAWINGS or CLIP ART to explain the meanings clearly.

Plot Mapper: To mindmap or storyboard IMPT PARTS of the story BY USING THE elements of a NARRATIVE like: Trigger Event, Sequence of IMPORTANT EVENTS/ACTIONS ( this must be linked in terms of CAUSE and EFFECT throughout the chapters), PROBLEM/CONFLICT

Quote Picker: To pick out IMPT QUOTES from chapters and start a discussion about the meaning and significance of the quote to the story like development of plot, character, or theme

Character Tracker: To identify important characters in each chapter and track the development of the character though the chapters through what character says or does and what other character says about this him/her. You must explain what it tells YOU about the character like the personality. The most IMPT CHARACTERS to FOCUS ON will be :Scout, Atticus, Jem, Bill, Calpurnia, Tom Robinson, Mayella Ewell, Bob Ewell, and Boo Radley

Discussion Leader: To check and read through other members work and come up with interesting ideas to discuss based on what other members post or based on your own reading. Focus on THEMES in the story: COURAGE, INTEGRITY, PREJUDICE, RACISM etc

d) All work must be done ONLINE in the languagearts blog and every post MUST BE CLEARLY TAGGED with the name of the person who posted it. The TAGS box is just below the TEXT box where you type.

e) You are given BONUS MARKS for using online tools like Toondoo, Comic Life, online mindmapping and Voicethread etc

f) The work above MUST BE DONE BASED ON Chapters 1 – 10

g) Like your PROJECT WORK, you need to post regularly and comment /discuss regularly if you want to SCORE. You know how important the marks are to you BY NOW, so do work hard. Anyone with NO INTERNET ACCESS, you CAN use the SCHOOL LIBRARY COMPUTERS, so I won’t accept any excuses.

Resource For Reference:

http://www.lausd.k12.ca.us/Belmont_HS/tkm/index.html – This website provide a good reference for vocabulary by chapter and will help you understand some of the more difficult words in the text.

Thanks. If you have any questions, please comment. And, if you want a particular task, just comment. Thank You.
