Quarter Four: Literary Circle Assignment
For each Literary Circle meeting, you will provide example of quotes and analysis in your novel through a
dialectic journal. You must have at least five quotes with your analysis for each meeting from the
designated section of the novel for that particular meeting. In addition to bringing the typed copy to
class, you must submit each dialectic journal to turnitin.com. In your meetings, you will be assigned a
short article to read and discuss as well as have a discussion about your dialectic journals. From these
discussions, you will develop one discussion question which you will need to post to Edmodo under your
particular group. You do not need to answer your own discussion question, but rather answer another
group’s discussion question, making sure to use direct quotes and specific examples from the novel in
your response. The meeting dates/due dates for the dialectic journals are May 1st, 8th, 15th , and 22nd.
Your discussion post must be submitted to your Edmodo group by the following day: May 2nd, 9th,
16th, 23rd. And your Edmodo responses are due by the following Tuesdays, May 7th, May 14th, May 21st,
and May 28th.
Example of the Dialectic Journal
For each Literary Circle meeting, find at least five important quotes and analyze the quotes(analysis is
always longer than the quote). Be sure to include the speaker (including narrator) and page number.
