Blogging Using Criteria

As you begin to blog about Jesper remember to refer to your criteria sheet. Creating a powerful response needs to include a passage or quote that clearly shows persecution occurring in the novel. This quote/passage needs to have made you react strongly in some way - angered, frustrated, devastated, in disbelief. Copy the passage/quote directly from the novel and include the page number it can be found on. Explain your feelings and emotions you felt when reading this and explain why. Go into detail as this will show a deeper level of understanding. A powerful response also needs to included connections. As everyone is now on their second novel, maybe more, you can connect to what you have already read. What is similar or dissimilar about the characters, about the events? Finally, leave off by asking a deep thinking question. What do you wonder about, what questions do you have? It might be about something we have talked about in class and you have been thinking about it, wondering about it? Maybe it is something that has occurred in the novel and you would like to hear others' opinions. This is the time to ask.
