This week....
DUELING AUTHORS
Two Books Enter...One Book Leaves.
In the first week of class I asked for suggestions of possible "Great Books" to use in class. Unfortunately there were so many wonderful suggestions there was no way for them all to be incorporated into the class. So, this week is your opportunity to make your favorite book or author shine, while laying the smack down on your classmates.
Are you up for the challenge?
After selecting your favorite book/author, consider the following elements of great literature:
- Great Characters
- Great Plot
- Great Language
To prepare for your battle of the books, gather the following information about your chosen champion:
- Basic information: Setting: time/place, characters, ect.
- Summary of Plot: Conflict, 3-5 Main Events, Resolution
- Main Character: Description & changes
- Example of Language: One quote showcasing the power of your author's writing
Once you have gathered all this information you should be ready for our Literary Thunderdome! Whose author will reign supreme?
