Did you survive Christmas? Well, if you are still in one piece, let's see how to approach the incoming month.
First of all The Book Club, which will take place as soon as we are back from holidays. As you all know the title is Address Unknown by Kressman Taylor.
Have you found out anything about the writer? Well, if you haven't, go into the wikipedia (English) and read and take notes to show how much you know.
Then if you have read it a long time ago, go through it again and take notes of what happens at each stage of the book. Who are the main characters? What are they like? Is there any development of the main characters?
What secondary characters are there? What role do they play in the story as a whole?
Is there a passage you would like to comment? Which one? What are the best ideas in the book?
What is the plot about? How does it develop? What sections or aspects were more shocking?
Is there a pattern or style? Which is it? What kind of writing is it?
Why was the book written? What is the context?
What effect did the book have on you? How did you respond to it?
Use these reflexions for the book club.
Was the language difficult? Are there any expressions you wrote down? Which ones?
What is the main theme? Did you learn anything from the writer's approach to the material?
Use these thoughts to lead you through a second reading and comments in class.
