Ongoing Reading and Reflection for Slaughterhouse-5



There are ten chapters in this book.  You have already read the first chapter.  Set aside one entry in your blog for each of the nine remaining reading assignments.
You may select from two tiers.  Select the assignment that best suits your reading and thinking needs
 TIER 1
Give each chapter a meaningful title
List 3-5 important plot developments and/or character revelations in each chapter
Select and write out (word-for-word) the single most significant passage from the reading.  Cite the page number.
Follow each passage with a thoughtful and thorough commentary about why the passage is important.  This discussion should include attention to theme, character development, conflict development, symbol, etc

 TIER 2
Give each chapter a meaningful title
Select and write out (word-for-word) 2 to 3 significant passages from the reading overall.  Cite the page numbers. 
Follow each passage with a thoughtful and thorough commentary/analysis of theme, character development, tension/conflict development, etc.
Basically, you are writing CERs where you TWIST the passage.
