Learning ObjectivesThis post will help us fulfill the objective of applying the concepts of: “choices of struggling and successful students” to your own life and to the memoir.
InstructionsRead the following pages in your memoir: Rabbit: 153-186
Identify any connections you can find between concepts from the earlier section of the Week 2 Module on the choices of successful students 下載and characters in your Book Club memoir in a concise P.I.E. paragraph. Where in the memoir do you see these concepts playing out, and what do they reveal about the characters’ motivations, attitudes, or identities in general? Be specific, citing quotes from the memoir to support your ideas.
After identifying the connections in #1, focus specifically on one or two key scenes in the memoir, analyzing the scenes and what they mean. Try to connect this response to what you wrote in #1, to discuss how each scene reflects something significant about the victim and/or creator mentalities demonstrated by particular characters in your Book Club memoir (which you analyzed in #1).
Use the Sentence Stems for Textual Analysis templates to analyze the scenes (copied below). You can apply the Sentence Stems by completing the templates in order to analyze the scenes.
