Conversations about Frederick Douglass's Narrative and Stephen King's The Body

We had some big conversations in both Honors English 11 and English 12 today, using an Academic Conversations structure. There was a lot of good thinking going on--I had a hard time keeping up to take notes! This work is all part of the process of building strong analytical ideas, in preparation for some substantial writing once we've finished the texts. Here's what the board ended up looking like after each conversation (you can click on each image to enlarge):
