One of the things we have discussed all year -- and which I hope I have succeeded in ingraining into your heads -- is the idea that, when reading any text, the questions are more important than the answers. This is not to discredit working together to attempt to create answers, but it should go without saying that an answer cannot be had without first asking the question which precedes it.
That being said, you are going to work in your groups to come up with one essential question for each chapter that we have read thus far. This will, for those not inclined to mathematical abilities, be ten questions total. After the questions are created, I will be assigning groups to answer them.
Some guidelines for this activity:
1) The questions cannot be fill-in-the-blank type questions; that is, you are not to ask questions for which there is an obvious answer. Questions like "what was next to the prison door in chapter 1" are not appropriate.
2) You are not to discuss the creation of your questions with any group prior to your posting of them.
3) You may decide, as a group, how to divvy up the questions that you are assigned to answer. However, regardless of which group members answer which questions, the group receives one score.
