Final Day of Book Clubbing: October 21, 2019

Focus: What are your transcendentalist book club take-aways?

1. Warming up with three good things

2. Enjoying your final day of book clubs

• Structure and Shift: Reread the last couple of pages, Then reread the first couple of pages. What has shifted, and why?

• Theme and Tone: What does your author want us to understand better or differently?

3. Composing an exit ticket on the dynamics of your book club

HW:
1. For tonight:

• Make sure you have finished reading your book club novel. This is not the same as reading the Sparknotes (that's what we call "fake reading," and it will make you dumber).

• Look back through the overview of the literary essay that I gave out last Friday.

2. By Wednesday, Oct 23: If you'd like to revise your personal essay, please set up a conference with me by this date.

3. Friday, Oct 25: Be ready to compose your literary essay in class this day. You are welcome to type or handwrite.
