Reflective Research Report Preparation

PART A: Preparing for Research Report Use a Q-chart as a tool to help you develop at least 10 research questions that you may want to explore. Try to create a variety of different types of questions from the different quadrants of the Q-chart so that you can consider questions from different angles. Submit it to your teacher for feedback. PART B: Novel Reflection Please note, that this reflection is not connected to your research report. You will continue working on the report throughout the rest of this unit. This reflection is meant to help you consolidate your thinking about the final part of the novel. In a reflection post of approximately 250-300 words, respond to the following prompt: Now that you've finished your novel, identify and explain the theme of your novel (you may also think of this as the overall message). This is not the same thing as the topic of the novel. For example, love may be a focus in your novel, but the theme might be something like “Love, if taken to extremes, can have negative effects rather than positive consequences.” What idea or ideas do you think the author was trying to explore in this novel? State the theme in a complete sentence and find at least three specific examples that show how the theme develops in your novel. In other words, find places in the novel where the theme appears.
