Your task for today is centered around the fantasy novel you are reading. In your respective groups, you are going to complete the following activities:
1. Discuss the answers to all the questions for section one.
* For numbers two and three you are going to come to a consensus as a group and either record an audio file or a video file of your group's opinions on the setting and protagonist of your novel.
2. Complete a Setting Analysis. You need to discuss:
-> where the story is taking place (name)
-> the time period(s)
-> the weather conditions/season(s)
-> the mood/atmosphere you as a reader feel as well as what the protagonist feels
-> the social conditions (social standing of the protagonist, discuss the hierarchy of the culture, identify who is in power, etc.)
3. Complete a Protagonist Analysis. You will need to discuss:
-> the name of the main character
-> the physical appearance of the main character
-> the character's personality (e.g. sense of humour, opinionated, etc)
-> the way the character speaks (e.g. is it normal? fast or slow pace? good listener? etc)
-> the different roles the character plays in the lives of people around him/her (e.g. son/daughter, husband/wife, best friend, policeman, teacher, etc)
4. Using the internet, please search for a picture of how you think the main character in your novel would look physically. Please do not use photos from the movies or anyone else's interpretation, but rather try to find a photo or picture that represents how you and your group picture the protagonist. When you have found a photo or picture, please post it to my blog.
Thanks and good luck!
Ms. Weir
