Harry Potter came out today - it was awesome. Ron is not fat BTW, he's hench :P That links with what I'm about to say because Harry Potter is literature, and has some kite runner-y bits in like Harry has all those personal battles and stuff just not like Amir's coz Harry's a wizard and Amir is not. I'll shut up and get on with the blog now.
So, this lesson we did like a big poster thing that had the names of most of the characters on it and their personalities and the way they act towards people (e.g. Assef - Bully, evil, Hitler is his role model...) and then we also had the themes of the novel like guilt, and then the parts or people in the novel that fit with that, e.g. Amir's guilt over what happened to Hassan and how he didn't try to stop it.
I think this activity was really useful because it helped to have all the themes together and to read how other people see the characters in the novel and it was good to be able to see different ideas, because on some of the themes I wouldn't have really known what to say but now we did that activity I have a few more ideas.
