Today you completed a constructed response unit reflection for our work during this unit, followed by a class discussion that reviewed our essential questions and characteristics of modern literature. You also turned in your travel journals (you should have six,) completed a brief anticipation survey for our next unit, and compiled a list of characteristics of the modern American teenager. No homework this weekend, enjoy the beautiful weather and get ready to dive into The Catcher in the Rye next week!Unit Reflection Questions:
1. Did you like this book? Why or why not? What specifically did you like or dislike about it?
2. Describe your thoughts about this unit as a whole. What activities or assignments were effective for you? What wasn't? Why?
3. Rate your participation and performance during this unit, on a scale of 1 to 10. What did you do well? What would you do differently?
4. Because of the nature of my job (duh,) I want to know some specific things you've learned. Also, what are you still confused about? List any relevant or remaining questions that you have.
5. Look back to your notes on modernism and modern literature. How does The Beach qualify as a modern novel? (Don't just say it is because of the publishing date...) Be as specific and detailed as you can. Be sure to offer explanation for your opinion!
6. Lastly, consider our essential question for this unit: What is society's responsibility to the individual, and what is the individual's responsibility to society? Considering the major themes and messages conveyed in this novel, how might Alex Garland respond to this question?
