MINI-LESSON
The SGQs are questions designed to help you focus your attention on the most important sections of the novel as you read it. The reading assignments are divided into chunks of 2-4 chapters, each with a related deadline. The deadlines are only a guideline and may change depending on class progress, breaks, and testing - like the Spring NWEA.
The Theme Tracker will help you keep track of ONE theme of your choice throughout the novel: Taking a Stand, Compassion, or Prejudice. You will then use this document to create a final presentation which will be done once we finish reading the book.
3. Resources
In Google Classroom I have posted materials for you to use as you read the book. You will find the full-length original text, a graphic novel version of the book up to chapter 12 only, and links to the online audio version of the novel parts I and II. You may use any of these versions of the book on your own. We will mostly be using the screenplay in class.
FRAMING A STORY
Also known as The Story within a Story technique.
Example #1: The Princess Bride
A grandfather, in an attempt to get his grandson interested in anything but video games and television, tells him the story of The Princess Bride.
Example #2: Inception (by Christopher Nolan)
In the film, Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio enters into the dream of Cillian Murphy to embed an idea into his subconscious. Leonardo puts him to sleep in a dream, following him to a second layer of dream that soon gives way to another dream. In the innermost dream, Leonardo is blown out and enters into an endless dream – “limbo” – which could last for eternity, but only a few seconds pass in the real world. Leonardo, eventually wakes up through layers of dreams, feeling as though years have passed away, returning to his waking life.
Example #3: Titanic
In the movie, Titanic, an elderly woman, Rose, begins the movie by telling a story of her voyage in the Atlantic Ocean. When the reader gets into her narrative, he finds himself in the year 1912, where the story begins. Only a few times do readers return to the elderly Rose to get in touch with her experience; however, the movie ends as it begins. This is the story within a story.
EXAMPLE #4 To Kill a Mockingbird
The narrator, Jean Louise (Scout) Finch, and her brother, Jem, are having a disagreement about how Jem broke his elbow when they were younger. The main story then unfolds within a flashback.
WORK TIME
Read the first chapter of the novel using the graphic version.
