Quiz Review!

Starter 11
Look at the list of things you need to know for the quiz (on your rubric, or on the board).  For each of the 5 major topics:
  • Topic Name
  • Rank how well you think you know it, on a scale of 1-4 (4 = could take test now, 1 = no idea)
  • What’s the best study strategy for you for this topic?

What are the biggest questions you still have about Deogratias?  List 3-4.

Deogratias Discussion
In groups of 6, you will be discussing Deogratias to prepare for your quiz.  You need to choose a facilitator who will ask questions and keep the discussion on topic.  Take notes if you need them!  You must answer all the questions below, but you should also feel free to discuss other questions you have.
  1. Summarize the plot of Deogratias.  What are the most important events, and in what order do they occur?
  2. What is the significance of Deogratias turning into a dog?  (This question is KEY!  Think about what it might symbolize…look beyond the literal!)
  3. What is this book trying to say about genocide?  What is the message?
  4. What does this book have to say about the role of foreigners in Africa?  How are they characterized?
  5. Who is the person in this book with the most guilt?  In other words, who is the most responsible for what happened to Venetia, Benina, Apollinaria, and Deogratias?
  6. How does the message of this book apply to your own life?
Quiz Study Time
Time to study!  Use whatever strategies you think are appropriate- flashcards, rewriting notes, group discussion, concept maps, whatever works! 

This is your last time to get clarification from Lori about concepts you are confused about, so ask her questions as well if you are still struggling to understand.

HOMEWORK
Study for QUIZ tomorrow!  See post from last Wednesday for details on what to study.
