Title: Literature Circle Forum 3
Course: BC - English First Peoples 12 - XT - 1.0.0.0

After reading the third section of your novel, complete your third Literature Circle Forum.

For this Literature Circle Forum, you will pool information with the other students who are reading the same novel as you in order to fill out your Literary Devices Scavenger Hunt. Your goal is to work collectively so that all of you have a more comprehensive list of literary devices than you would have working alone.

Include the name of your novel in the title of your post.

Unlike the other Literature Circle Forums, you should only create a new discussion thread if you are the first person to complete the forum for your book. In other words, if someone has already created a thread for your book, respond to them rather than creating a new discussion post.

In your post:

- List five literary devices that you found in the book you are reading
- Quote the sentence or phrase that this literary device refers to
- Include the page number
- For at least one of your five devices, briefly describe how this literary device helps to enhance the story

If you are responding to your group’s thread, try to find examples of literary devices that have not already been mentioned. If all of the literary devices on your Scavenger Hunt worksheet have already been listed, list a few of your best examples, but also try to find one or two other literary devices from other places in the novel so that your group’s collective list can continue to grow.

If you find literary devices from later in your book or that refer to events later in the book (i.e., foreshadowing), be careful not to spoil the ending for your classmates.
