In order to contruct a good book and put the guard dog
to sleep, you must look for certain aspects of this book that make it
a quality book.
To accomplish this you will need to divide into three teams, each
of which will look at a different part of what makes Harry Potter
and the Sorcerer's Stone a well-written fictional work.
Team/Theme: Fantastic
Aspects
This team will search for aspect of the book
that are "fantastic". A fantastic occurence of characteristic
is something that is written into or used in the book that is
impossible in real life.
Team/Theme: Conflict
It will be the task of this team to find and
classify all of the different cases and types of conflict that
are found throughout this book.
Team/Theme: Character
Profiles
This team will come up with a brief desription
for each of the main characters in this book.
Team/Theme: Resolution
The members of this team will look for how and
when the questions posed in the book (or created in the reader's
mind) are answered.
Each team should be ready to make a short presentation based
on what they have found. Also, each team member should write a
short (2-3 page) paper on how their topic makes this book good.
The paper should use and cite examples of from the text. Once
we learn about all these important aspects of a quality fiction
book, we will have all that we need to put Cerberus to sleep.
