Lesson+Overview



In our novel study of //Numbering All the Bones// by Ann Rinaldi, many questions arise with regard to the characters, their relationships, the choices they make, and the unique circumstances of the time and period in which they are living.

What questions might you have about Eulinda, Zeke, Ms. Gertrude, or Neddy? What choices do they make with regard to their circumstances (ex: Zeke sold because he was accused of stealing Ms. Gertrude's ring? Neddy stealing the ring from Ms. Gertrude and running away to join the Union army? Eulinda deciding to leave the Hampton house after being freed to help "number all the bones"?) And the big question - what if things had been different?

This assignment requires you to think "outside of the box" and to come up with those What If questions. Your overall question will drive the following task that you create for your peers.

This task is set up very much like a WebQuest entailing five parts - Introduction; Task; Process; Evaluation; Conclusion.

You will work within your groups to do the following:

Come up with a question Create a task Investigate links to research the task Create an evaluation for what is required of the task Post on the wiki page for your peers to choose from

Once all of these have been compiled, your peers will choose a task to complete as an individual project. See the Grading Rubric for specific dates and grading criteria.

Be creative! Ask questions! Enjoy the journey!
