Mrs. O's Honors English Class Discussion Wiki

This closed wiki is established for the purpose of conducting online discussions of the literature read in Mrs. O's honors English class.

Each student is required to respond to a prompt by the prompt's due date. In addition, each student is required to also react to the responses of two or more of his or her classmates. Responses and reactions are graded on the depth of thought shown in the work vis a vis textual support for an opinion, questions that invite deeper thinking and responding, logic, and quality of the writing (grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.). A warning: Please do not use student names in responding on this wiki. A closed group only means that invited class members are the only ones who contribute to the wiki; however, anyone who wishes may view our posting. Because we must protect everyone's privacy, please use only the identifiers provided in class. **

The closing for discussions is midnight of the due date. At that time, you are to have responded to the discussion question, as well reacted to the responses of two of your classmates. You may comment on more, of course, and you may react to reactions.

In all cases, the same etiquette as expected in the classroom is expected online. I will be monitoring and commenting on all responses.

Plan your reading and responses according to the following schedule:
 * **Chapters ** || **Questions ** || **Date ** ||
 * 1-4 || 1-3 || February 18 ||
 * 5-8 || 4-5 || February 21 ||

If you have any questions about the novel or this wiki, be sure to ask them either in class or via email. You may also direct questions to the "Questions?" discussion page.
