Submit and answer one of each of the following by Thursday, February 28. I will pick several and post them to the website that evening. Be prepared to discuss them in class on Friday, March 1st. Questions may come from any section of Anthem; preference will likely be given to questions in the final half to third of the book. Include answers for each question.
WORLD CONNECTION QUESTIONS
Write one question connecting the text to the real world.
Example: If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
CLOSE-ENDED QUESTIONS
Write one question about the text that will help everyone in the class come to an agreement about events or characters in the text. This question usually has a “correct” answer.
Example: How did Equality-7 make light?
OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS
Write one insightful question about the text that will require proof and group discussion and “construction of logic” to discover or explore the answer to the question.
Example: Why did Equality-7 rename Liberty-5 "The Golden One"?
UNIVERSAL THEME/ CORE QUESTIONS
Write one question dealing with a theme(s) of the text that will encourage group discussion about the universality of the text.
Example: Why is it wrong to not be given a choice in determining your destiny?
LITERARY ANALYSIS QUESTIONS
Write one question dealing with HOW an author chose to compose a literary piece. How did the author manipulate point of view, characterization, poetic form, archetypal hero patterns, for example?
Example: Why is Equality-7's/Liberty-5's/International-6's name ironic?
Due Thursday, February 28.
