Responding to what you read
Posted by MsMichetti on 21 May 2009
As you read The Diary of Anne Frank (playscript by Goodrich and Hackett), respond to the play on your blog. It doesn’t matter what you respond to, specifically, or which parts, as long as you are responding. A few “starters” that might help:
- I liked reading… because…
- I disliked reading… because…
- I noticed …
- I wonder …
- I wish …
- This reminds me of …
- My favourite word/image/phrase is … because …
- I don’t understand …
- Now I understand …
- I think this is about … because …
- Some questions I have are …
- This makes me feel … because …
- I was impressed by … because …
- I think this means … because …
- Something really bothering me is …
- I predict … because …
If you’re really stuck, use this document to guide you through Act 1: enga08-good-and-evil-act-1-activities. (You don’t have to answer all the questions!)
Please aim to respond AT LEAST 4 times before you finish reading the text. (That’s twice per Act.) And you don’t have to like what you’re reading — just respond to it in some way. If you don’t like it, say so! And say why!
Don’t forget you can also respond to other students’ blogs in the comments!
