Discussion -- LotF CHAPTER ONE-CHAPTER NINE
--engage in high-level discussion:

• your "Marked for Greatness" response from two classes ago
• clarifying the meaning of "marked for greatness" as a literary concept and applying the concept to the following characters/settings:

• study guide
• looking ahead to the "End-of-Course Assignment"
• SEE THE LIST PROJECTED ON THE SMARTBOARD CREATED VIA TICKETS-OUT-THE-DOOR SUBMITTED EARLIER IN THE UNIT.

--every so often, I will sound an alarm--when I do so, if I point to your group, send your Runner up front to write a contribution on the board--the more specific and related to authorial purpose the response, the better!
--place each contribution under a topic heading so that we can try to keep all of this "stuff" somewhat organized!
