Post Expectations ** You will have a lot of freedom in choosing your topics of discussion, but they must be focused and relevant to each reading assignment. Please address the __at least two of the following areas in your post:__  Each post must be a minimum of three substantial paragraphs. You want to give a full, thoughtful response for each reading section in order to earn full credit of 15 points/post. You will receive 5 points for responding to at least two of your classmates’ posts.  Don’t be repetitive with your responses. There are many different issues to discuss in each section; do not just repeat the same things for each response. Furthermore, make sure each response included information/thoughts up through the final chapters assigned. 
 * **#1: Significant events, themes, and character development **. This is your chance to dig deeply into elements of the chapters that struck you as important, interesting, confusing, infuriating, or just plain worth talking about.
 * **#2: Potential objections in the section **. What might people have a problem with? Do you have a problem with anything? What are your thoughts so far on why this is a banned book? Is it valuable despite the objections?
 * **#3: The quality of the literature **. You could look at style, theme, characterization, plot, symbolism, quotes, etc. What do you think about the book so far? Furthermore, is this well-written? Does it pull you in? Would it be good for a classroom? What would students get out of it?
