Episode 76: A Farewell to Arms (Summer Reading Strategies)
Episode 76: A Farewell to Arms (Summer Reading Strategies) Ernest Hemingway (1929) Running Time: 9:11 This Week's Topics: Guiding questions Close reading strategies The Iceberg Technique Original Air Date: 7/24/15 Students are often told to "take notes" as they make their way through the summer reading, but sometimes it can be tricky to determine just what we should take notes on (and why!) in each new book. This week, Mr. Meehan puts a "Five Minute Focus" -- which is actually more like ten minutes -- on A Farewell to Arms. This episode is packed with sample note-taking strategies, close-reading techniques, and the types of questions that will help you make sense of Ernest Hemingway's unique "Iceberg" approach to writing. Pro-tip: listen to this podcast and the Junior Summer Reading episode before you start reading! These recordings are loaded with tips and strategies on how to make clearer sense of the book and boost your comprehension as you read. (It's like extra credit in advance!)
