Remodeling

     We constantly look at our world and look for ways to remodel it.  We want change and we want it now.  Think about the book Crime and Punishment. What are some of the changes the characters in this novel would want to make to remodel their world?
     Choose one character and explain how they would remodel their world.  Provide examples from the text to help reinforce your argument.  What would they remodel, why would they remodel, and what result do you think they would want to achieve?

Connections

This week we begin presentations.  You each chose from my list a book to read, and now, it is presentation time.  As you are listening to the presentations this week, I want you to make a connection to your book.  What from their presentation resonates with you, and how can you connect it to your book.  Explain the connection in your post. 

When the new meets the old

 

  When our new knowledge meets our old knowledge, change should occur.  The way we see the world, the way we see ourselves, and even the way we see ourselves in the world.  You chose between four books to read and in doing so, change should have happened.  
     
For this week's blog, I want you to explain how your book changed the way you view, know, understand or think about something.  Since many have not read your book, provide a brief summary of the idea or moment and then go on to explain how it impacted you.
