Since today is Friday, I'm not going to introduce a new literary lens for the chapters I am asking you to read today. In the next two chapters of the novel, the exposition is continuing to build as we learn more about the baby that was left on the Dursleys' doorstep. We are going to continue looking at Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 through the Reader Response lens because the personal connections that we make with the text right now are going to help us think more critically about later chapters and, hopefully, they will also add to our enjoyment of this story as we continue reading! (More information about the Readers Response Lens is on yesterday's blog post if you missed it.)
TO DO FOR FRIDAY, APRIL 17:
- Read Chapter 2 and Chapter 3
- This is a link to the ebook
- This is a link to the audiobook (you do not need an account to listen)
- Note: The audiobook is for the British version of the book, so the title is different and some words might be different if you are following along on the PDF. However, Stephen Fry (the narrator) is an amazing reader, and I highly recommend listening to the audiobook.
- Complete the Reader Response Form for Chapters 2 and 3
- Read the chapter slowly and deliberately and think about the questions above & your reaction and connection to the work.
- You will need to log into your Office365 account in order to complete the form. Email me or send me a Remind if you have problems logging in. (This seemed to work for people yesterday.)
As always, I am available via email and through Remind. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need me. 😊
