Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2003)
1. Novel Title (italicize or underline titles) and Author:
2. Pages Covered (“1/2 Way Through”):
3. Summarize What You Have Read So Far: a paragraph
4. Ask Questions: Active readers ask questions before, during, and after reading to better understand the meaning of the text. Ask questions of the author, yourself, and the text: What is the author trying to say? What is the message or point of this piece so far? What did I learn from this text? What predictions do I have for the rest of the text?
Ask at least 2 specific questions (before, during, and after reading); answer at least 1 of them:
5. Find important/meaningful passages: Find at least two passages that stand out to you as important to the overall meaning and themes of the novel. Write/type them out with citations (Lewis 34). Explain why that passage in a sentence or two.
6. Vocabulary Enrichment: Find words or phrases (these can be terms, allusions, references, or straight up WORDS) that you find important for understanding the novel (so far). Stretch yourself here: maybe you sort of know what the word means, but have a hard time explaining itthat might be a good guide for you. List the word (phrase) in quotation marks with a citation (Lewis 34). Explain the wordyou can look it up and/or explain on your own (context is always key).
7. Make Your Own Connections & HTRLLAP Connections: What connections can I make with the text? Active readers notice pieces of text that relate to or remind them of: their lives, past experiences, and prior knowledge, other courses, books, articles, movies, songs, events, people or issues: Make at least three (3) connections: i.e. This reminds me of…. This makes me think of … At least two (2) of the connections should be to something from HTRLLAP.
