A+close+reading+of+a+novel

====In order to gain an understanding of how to do a close reading of a novel I have listed some guiding questions we are going to brainstorm and research. It is your responsibility to collaborate with your peers so that everyone has a role and information to contribute (Miss Glynn will also be helping you manage this to begin with). ==== ====You have studied many novels by Stage 6, so… as a class we will be collaborating on the following questions to build on your background knowledge and create our resource. ==== ====We will decide on new pages and topics as a group after our brainstorms. I will also be uploading the brainstorms from the smart board under each heading so that we can see where we have come from. ====
 * 1) ====What is a close reading? Why do one? ====
 * 2) ====What makes a ‘good’ novel? ====
 * 3) ====What are different features of a novel? ====
 * 4) ====What are language techniques and why are they used? ====
 * 5) ====From the above responses what do you think is important to consider when doing a close reading? ====
