These journals will help you analyze the novel’s characters and their motives as we read this incredible piece. Here are your requirements: o 10 Digital Journal Entries (1 of each kind, 3 of your choice) o 10 Discussion Responses on wiki o EXTRA CREDIT for a ligit debate on the discussion threads We will be housing the Digital Journal on a wikispace; each student will have their own page and other students will be able to view them and respond on the discussion tab.
