Into the Wild


Student Chapter Discussions



As a way to get students talking to other students about the novel, you and a partner will take one or two chapters of the novel and hold a meaningful and interesting discussion on those chapters with your class mates. The criteria for your student discussion include the following points:



• A brief summary of any new developments in Christopher’s journey. This might include new places, new people, new hardships, etc., that Christopher encounters in that part of the book.

• A discussion of some of the most important reading questions and vocabulary from the assigned homework.

• A sharing of something in the chapter that is really interesting to you and your partner that we might not have thought about while reading.

• Some visual image that fits the events or themes of your chapter(s).



Your discussion needs to be organized, rehearsed, and include a powerpoint slide(s) for Mrs. Z. to display while you hold your discussion. The discussion should take at least 1 mod.



Grade point value is 100 points.
