== =Welcome to Your English 1 On-Line Book Club!= This is your own wiki. The content will be built together with your group. By the end of the quarter, you'll have created, as a group, new knowledge about your book. And you'll be able to say that you've created a wiki.

Getting Started

 * Click on your book title to the left to get to your subpage.
 * Click on the edit button above (top right of the page) to put your own content on the page.
 * A wiki is like a word processing document that LOTS of people can open and change... so after you hit "edit" (and the screen becomes gray) just scroll down to the place you want to add content and type!
 * You have the "power" to edit everyone else's comments. Don't do it! Everyone will be able to see what you've done by clicking on the "History" tab.

Discussion Questions
By midnight every Thursday, please answer the following discussion questions on your book's page (click on the title on the left). These questions are repeated on each subpage.
 * November 20: Characters. Who do you feel are the three most important characters? Why are they interesting, deep, or complex? (or, if you don't find any interesting, "in what ways has the author tried to make them interesting, deep, or complex?")


 * November 27: (two postings this week) 1. VIP (Very Important Passage) Choose one quote (could be a single sentence or several sentences) that you think is really important in the novel so far. Explain why you think it's interesting, thought-provoking, or challenging to you. 2. What do you think of the novel so far?


 * December 4: Point of View. What "point of view" is the story told from? (use the terms from the orange book). Why do you think the author choose this type of narration? How would the novel be different if told from another point of view (be speicific... how would it be different if it was first person? if it was third person omniscient?)


 * December 11: VIP (Very Important Passage) Choose one quote (could be a single sentence or several sentences) that you think is really important in the novel so far. Explain why you think it's interesting, thought-provoking, or challenging to you.


 * December 18: Theme. (two postings this week) 1. What are some of the central questions that the book asks? Write two, and explain what you think the author seems to be saying about that question. 2. What do you think of the book now that you're done with it?
