We have now made a good start into our novel with our first three chapters read, have dove into some of the rich language of the text, and reflected critically via literacy circles.
Some reflective questions from Seo Yeon.
This week, we started off by looking at one of the main themes of our novel, identity. We reflected on this personally in our journals, and in groups by looking at things which can affect our identity.
Cliques
Gangs
Individuality
We then moved on to thinking about our setting of the novel (outskirts of New York during the 1960s) and talked about some key events that were pivotal during that era. We reflected on some teen interests during that time and how they'd be different if the book was written with teens from today.
Corvair
Greasers?
Lastly, we went into analysis of some of the main characters in our novel by detailing their physical appearance, personal attributes, relationships to other characters, and other relevant information.
