Novel+Study

**You will be carrying out a Novel Study during Term 2.**


 * Each reading group will be given a selected novel either at or above your reading age. Groups will meet regularly with Miss Crone to monitor progress and discuss your understanding of the novel. You will be required to be up to a certain part in your novel when we meet and you will be advised of this in time. You will be required to read the novel both in class and at home. You will have comprehension questions to complete in your Wiki after each Chapter - this will be done in class during Literacy. I expect you to take the majority of the term to complete the novel as well as the comprehension questions. ** You are not to keep reading without completing the questions!!!! **(**Remember these will be done in class!!)

Once you have finished reading you novel you will begin your novel study. You will need to write about the setting, plot, characters, theme and write a critical response to your novel. We will go over these in class.

Each group will meet for their first reading session with Miss Crone and make predictions about the novel. You will then write an individual paragraph predicting what the novel is about in your wiki. Then you are free to begin reading your novel.
