__**Directions:**__ Go to the Discussion tab at the top of the page. Each week, I will post a series of discussion questions. You will need to create a new response for each question (a paragraph minimum). Be sure to reference passages in the text to support your response and include page numbers in a citation-- for example: (Alvarez 62). You will also need to respond to at least two of your classmates' posts. These responses should be insightful and detailed. Please do not post, "I agree" or "interesting!" This acts as a graded extension of our discussions in class. Your initial posts are due by the Saturday of each week, and your two responses are due by Wednesday of the following week. However, you may continue to post as many additional responses throughout our work on the novel. Moreover, if you have a question or another topic you would like to discuss about the novel that we have not addressed in class or online, you may post that to the "Continued Discussion" section.

Additional posts to the "Continued Discussion" section will count as extra credit. You may post about an issue we have not discussed or continue a classroom discussion in this forum. You may also post questions for me, but in order to receive credit, you will need to respond to my answer (this answer may include further questions for you to ponder and respond). You will be awarded one to two points on the next quotation test for each extra post.
