What was your experience of reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe overall? Did you enjoy the book? Why or why not? Identify some areas that you particularly enjoyed, or found particularly off-putting.
-
Have you ever read the book before? If so, how did this most recent reading compare to the last time?
-
How was the experience of analyzing the book? Did it take away from or contribute to your enjoyment of the book?
-
How have our discussions and the reading material contribute to your understanding and/or interpretation of the book?
-
What else did you notice about the book that you want to talk about? (You might discuss your ideas for analysis #2, if you like)
Write a brief (1-2 paragraph) response to one or more of those questions.
Post your paragraph using the "New Topic" button. Postings will be due by Thursday, Nov. 2 at midnight.
Respond to at least two of your classmates' paragraphs. When you respond, do add something to the discussion. Don't just say "I agree" or "disagree".
