=A Bridge to Wiseman's Cove= A project for 8KPI and 8ENE 2009 =**//How do young people deal with difficult family situations and issues of self-image and identity?//**=

=Introduction= Welcome to the //**Bridge to Wiseman's Cove**// wikispace. We'll give a short explanation for those who aren't too sure what a wiki is all about but it's recommended that you visit the [|Wikipedia entry on wikis], which describes it in greater detail and accuracy (along with some history and other interesting info). A wiki is an interactive website that allows its users to add, delete, edit and discuss the content. Its most popular use is as a tool for collaborative writing (as you are about to do!) letting a number of different users contribute to a single final product. The cool thing about a wiki is that it tracks all of the changes that users make providing a great history of how all the writing has developed. You can check out the history of this page by clicking on the history tab above or [|following this link]. By clicking on the select and compare buttons you can highlight any changes that have been made. lgnsebgfuopsberibgxdjibgdr At the end of this novel study, you will be able to:-
 * explore opinions (your own and others').
 * express empathy for/with the characters in the novel through reflective journal writing
 * show your understanding through an extended piece of writing in essay form
 * explore issues through pair chapter presentations
 * become familiar with the language used and write in a similar style

What next? Read this most important description of your task:
You will need to read through the chapter you have been allocated several times. Your task is to take your allocated chapter and 'teach' it to the class via your page. You should:
 * Provide a summary of your chapter. Incorporate new information you have discovered, making links to other parts of the novel - and even to 'real life' outside the novel.
 * Identify the major plot, character and theme developments. Give evidence/ examples [with page references] to support what you say.
 * Provide a small homework task for another pair to complete.

When you are ready to commence your discussion of the chapter, click on the appropriate link (see the nav bar on the left hand side), click the "Edit this page" button up the top of the page and start! =//Your wiki page must be ready by Monday March 30th.// =
