For this unit you will be placed
in book clubs of four students and will plan out as a group how you will
proceed through Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel Crime
and Punishment.
Process:
On each book club day of this
unit, your book club will meet for 30 minutes during class to discuss topics of
interest in that section of Crime and
Punishment.
·
For each book club
gathering, one student will type up four
discussion questions from the reading for that week.
·
These questions will be
provided on one piece of paper and they must be analytical reading questions, two of which must incorporate direct
quotes (at least one from the novel).
·
A supplemental “philosophical”
reading will be studied prior to the meeting (typically the day before) and I
have ensured that each supplemental reading ties directly into the concurrent
reading from Crime and Punishment. At least one of the questions must
incorporate specific ideas from that week’s supplemental reading.
·
The preselected group
leader of that week will lead his or her book club discussion. This group
leader will be responsible for taking the “group notes” in response to his or
her questions on the printed handout.
