Huck. Again, no books. Land on two themes. Are they the same

your two new themes and differentiate which is more central.

Now identify places where those themes you have finally agreed

to interact with one another.

a. explain how events helped them interact or where they

were parallel in nature/presentation. 

b. explain the effect of having those two themes interact.

 

c. characterize the interaction (confusing, powerful,

Day 1

By yourself, Solo, all alone:

Looking at your dialectic journal only, pick a passage from

chapters 7-8 Slaughterhouse/Animal, or 11-14 Huck and

discuss how that passage develops a particular theme from

the text. Follow this format:

Part I

1. Statement of theme (no one word themes).

2. Transition to Your Passage.

THEN, USING YOUR BOOK...

3. Find one place earlier in the text where that same theme

made its appearance and explain how it did so.

Part II

In a group, land on the 2 best themes and differentiate which

one is more central. Make sure you, as a group, explain why.

Part II goes in the middle of your place mat.

If you and your group finish, make a list of vocabulary words(complete with page numbers) from the same chapters- complete with definitions.
