Hint Fiction; The Thief of Always Discussion #1

To start off, let's continue our examination of writing jobs. Spend the first 15 minutes of class today researching your chosen occupation. We'll share these at 10:00.

LAB WORK/RESEARCH: Select and sign up for one of the following occupations. Your job today in class is to use the internet to find out some information to report back to the class on these jobs. Find out:
A. What is the job? (Describe what the job entails or involves)
B. What is the median (average) salary for the job
C. What education and/or requirements are needed to get the job.
D. Anything else you found interesting about the job.
 The Thief of Always: Analysis

A Motif is a recurring or repeated object, image, or idea in a story. Throughout the book The Thief of Always several motifs are present. In small discussion groups this morning, please discuss the motifs and questions on the handout. As you prepare for our test on the book next class, please use the discussion questions to prepare for the type of questions that might be on the test.

Then, we will share in our discussion groups 3-5 of our hint fiction stories (the homework), select one story and either tweet this story to your contacts or email the story to friends/family members. Congratulations! You're "published."
