Autobiography+of+a+Face


 * Wiki-nar Directions**

You will discuss Lucy Grealy's book //Autobiography of a Face// on the Wiki today. Think of this process as a Socratic Seminar online. I have posted several topics to get you started; you will also post your own topics for discussion.

I want your active, engaged participation. I will not tell you how many topics to post or how many responses to write. If you work diligently for the class periods and follow the guidelines below, you will be successful.


 * Show that you understand the book on a literal level (plot, characters, setting).
 * Show that you understand the book on an analytical level (depth of thought, analysis of themes, connections, inferences).
 * Analyze the writer's craft the author has created (identify strong craft, show how it affects you as a reader, explain how the writer's choices add depth to your understanding of characters, plot, theme).
 * Use text for support whenever possible--thoughtful, purposeful choices that showcase your understanding of the book.
 * Edited writing that is free from grammar and spelling errors.
