On Friday, Nov. 16 students will choose the next book that they would like to read. To make an informed decision, students will read two to three pages of each book. On a tree map, students will list details for each book--events that happened, character information, comments on author's writing style and words that they do not understand. The details of the tree map can also include emotions that the student feels while reading these pages and initial reactions to ideas included.
The frame of the tree map will state which book the student is ultimately choosing to read for the next unit and the reasons why. If a student has a second or third choice, that should also be indicated in the frame of the tree map.
The five options for the choice unit are:
The Last Summer of Reason by Tahar Djaout and Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Snow by Orhan Pamuk
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
