Today, we picked up where we left off with our discussion about ignorance. The students seemed to agree that this was a prominent theme in the novel.
During class, I looked over the students' written responses. Their writing has really improved since started to required them to create a rough draft to highlight their own ideas and evidence from the book. I decided that I would give the students a choice of creating the rough drafts to highlight; however, I told them that I expect quality writing. If highlighting really helps them, then they should continue a while longer with that procedure. Those students that already understand can now skip that procedure.
