Choose ONE of the following:
(i)      Synthesis of response (and text-to-self connection) Choose the most significant quote from the book and explain what it showed in the book, and why how it led them to discover or reflect on a concept/theme in the book, or discover something about themselves or their world. 

(ii)    Synthesis through text-to-text connection
Either (for those who did Session 5A) Compare and contrast a historical fiction book/picture book/movie with Number the Stars, and explain how the two are similar and different, what they learnt from the historical fiction texts and why they preferred one over the other.  

OR (for those who did Session 5B) Compare and contrast another book/picture book/movie which was similar to Number the Stars in terms of narrative structure or device. They should explain how the narrative structure or device affected their response to the two texts, and explain which one they preferred.  

(iii)   Response to Novel: Do you think the novel offers us an optimistic or pessimistic view of the world? Write a persuasive essay (using the Hamburger Model) to explain your views. Remember to give reasons and evidence from the text to support your view. (This option can be also turned into a mini-debate. See post on Debate using Parlay as a blended learning option.)  

Possible modes of presentation: Powerpoint presentations or online tools like Piktochart/Canva.

Post your completed work as a new post on the Padlet wall by the end of Session 7. Upload your file or copy and paste the link to your work (ensure that viewing rights are enabled). You may also use the audio recorder or screen recorder to record your presentation. Be sure to include your name and class in the title of the post. 

In Session 8, give peer feedback to at least one other post using the TAG framework.

• Parlay creates online spaces for two types of discussion (known as RoundTables), i.e. Online Roundtables (asynchronous, text-based discussion) and Live Roundtables (synchronous, verbal discussion). Instructions and prompts (text-based or multimodal modes) can be customised via discussion templates.
  • For the purposes of Activity 7.2, participants may be given time to develop their arguments and provide inputs via an Online RoundTable in Session 7, before partaking in a Live RoundTable in Session 8. Participants may also take the time to refine and rehearse their points in Session 7, before the live debate.
• (Accurate at time of writing) A free educator account entitles one to 12 free RoundTables. There is no limit to the number of RoundTables a student can participate in. Sign-in via Google or Microsoft accounts are required.
• It is crucial to provide clarifications about how to use the tool, and establish expectations and routines about online participation via any online discussion tool. A useful guide for students on Parlay can be found here. For educator resources on how to use Parlay, refer to this.
• Other possible discussion tools: Tricider, Kialo, Flipgrid
