We completed our last lit circle! We'll be finishing up by Tuesday when we hand in our complete DEJ for the lit circle novel. You may use your TCCs as a resource when writing out your DEJ.
For your presentations, here is the criteria:
1. Present a brief overview of the novel. Do not spoil the plot! Don't read from the back of the book.
2. Present your groups opinion of the novel. One person may present an opinion of the group, or each member may present their opinion during the presentation. Also, rate the novel. You could give it a ranking out of /5 or perhaps a number of stars.
3. Provide a critique of the novel: present something that worked well in the novel and something that didn't work so well.
Remember, to get full marks, everyone in the group needs to present and it should fit within the time limit of 5 - 10 minutes!
Homework:
Make sure you have your presentation ready to go for Monday! The big DEJ for your novel is due on Tuesday.

We've now taken a look at our upcoming lit circles. One item of concern: if your entire table hands in exactly the same novel preferences (all the way down to rank 10!) many of you will not get your preferred texts.
Homework:
None. Take a break now that your essays are complete.
English 9 SPECTRUM
Our first essay will be on Tuesday. Make sure you bring your Walter Mitty outline!
