https://padlet.com/cpatton4/2fq2s4qzzirr Here, we will review the big ideas/themes of The Chosen. 1) First off, your group will form a succinct summary of the novel--one sentence only this time. Determine what is most important here. Label it "summary." 2) Next, your group needs to choose a theme on which to focus. Remember that a theme is an opinionated statement, not merely an observation. Write your theme in a complete sentence on the Padlet. Label it "theme." 3) After that, support this theme with six to eight significant quotes--these quotes must all lead to and illustrate the same theme. Make sure that you provide the full quote as well as the page numbers for your quotes. en-us 2016-08-08 02:04:56 UTC 2023-12-17 17:09:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/cpatton4/2fq2s4qzzirr/wish/117819645 2016-08-09 18:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cpatton4/2fq2s4qzzirr/wish/117819645 https://padlet.com/cpatton4/2fq2s4qzzirr/wish/117819652 2016-08-09 18:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cpatton4/2fq2s4qzzirr/wish/117819652 https://padlet.com/cpatton4/2fq2s4qzzirr/wish/117820233 Hey]]> 2016-08-09 18:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cpatton4/2fq2s4qzzirr/wish/117820233 https://padlet.com/cpatton4/2fq2s4qzzirr/wish/117820486 Danny Saunders is obligated to take his father's position as leader of the Hasidic group to continue his family's dynasty, but wishes to choose his own future with the help of his friend Reuven Malter. ]]> 2016-08-09 18:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cpatton4/2fq2s4qzzirr/wish/117820486 https://padlet.com/cpatton4/2fq2s4qzzirr/wish/117820489 The struggles of creating your own legacy.
