READ BELOW! NEW INFO ADDED 4-14-12!

**IMPORTANT INFO** **READ THE STEPS BELOW** Begin reading the numbered steps listed below, notice that each of the listed steps has a different due date...double check these dates as you work on this wiki project. The steps are listed in reverse order, please start with STEP #1 and follow the rest of the steps in chronological order by the correct due dates. Remember that half your postings on the "threads" should include some very brief explanations of WHY you think what you think...and the other half should ask some sort of QUESTION you want the class to discuss. Remember to make everything a SEPARATE post. You will also be commenting several different times on other student postings, as well as monitoring and wrapping up your own discussion. I look forward to seeing what you have to say. Thanks!

** IT IS OK TO POST PASSAGES ON THE VOLUMES LISTED BELOW: ** ** Volume One ** ** Volume Two ** ** Volume Three **  ** DO NOT POST MATERIAL BEYOND THIS POINT FOR RIGHT NOW: **

STEP #5 Students...please post the final FIVE passages for your own "threads" from the novel. Continue in the format you have been already using. Keep up the good work. Remember that if you have not already posted a little extra from each of three volumes, you should do so now. Thanks. IN ADDITION, post your final comment on other student posts. ALSO, make sure to wrap up any comments on your own posts, it is appropriate at this point to say some FINAL WORDS about your "thread" or to mention something interesting you discovered in your study of the novel. CURRENT DEADLINE: BY SUNDAY, APRIL 29, 2012 AT 10:00 PM, HAVE FINISHED POSTING YOUR FIVE PASSAGES, LAST COMMENT, AND FINAL WORDS.

STEP #4 Please make comments to other student postings again. At this time you must post TWO additional comments on other student posts...the same guidelines from before also apply now. Try to post to the most recent comments added by students. CURRENT DEADLINE: BY FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2012 AT 10:00 PM, HAVE POSTED YOUR TWO COMMENTS TO OTHER TOPICS.

STEP #3 Continue posting! Remember to post passages that you think best exemplify the "thread" you are studying. List your page numbers...do NOT write tons. Remember that for half of what you post, you should give your own reasoning, and for the rest you should invite others to comment. It is important to monitor your topic and respond to any comments that have been made. Right now, you should work on posting your next FIVE examples...it is OK to post a little more if you wish...by the end of the wiki project you should have at least four quotes from each volume and fifteen quotes total. Running commentary on your topic does NOT count as posting an "example" but it does count as monitoring your wiki topic. Eventually, you will AGAIN comment on other student postings...so you are welcome to get a head start if you wish. CURRENT DEADLINE: BY THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 2012 AT 7:30 AM, HAVE POSTED A SECOND FIVE PASSAGES RELATING TO YOUR TOPIC. It is OK to post separately as you find passages. Thanks.

Thanks. If you have questions, send me a message on the wiki.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">STEP #1 <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">HELLO AP LIT STUDENTS! Remember that each of you is responsible for your own "thread" of the novel that you are going to share with the rest of us. I have posted the "intro" to get you started. Please post a VERY BRIEF explanation of your topic FIRST. THEN, as you read the book, post examples from each volume that correspond with the "thread" for which you are responsible...you should have AT LEAST FOUR examples from each volume by the end of this project...plus a little extra for later. DO NOT POST ITEMS TOO FAR AHEAD OF OUR READING DEADLINES...if you do, YOU MAY RUIN THE ENDING for others. Post passages that you think best exemplify the "thread" you are studying. Since we are all using the same book, list your page numbers...YES, you may just give a few beginning and ending words or paraphrases...whichever makes you happier...do NOT write tons. Remember that by the end of this wiki project, for half of what you post, you will give your own reasoning, and for the rest you will invite others to comment. EVENTUALLY, you will be commenting on other student postings, as well as continuing to post on your own topic. CURRENT DEADLINE: BY FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2012 AT 10:00 PM, HAVE POSTED YOUR EXPLANATION AND AT LEAST FIVE PASSAGES RELATING TO YOUR TOPIC. It is OK to post separately as you find passages...it is NOT acceptable to post everything all at once. Thanks!
