Illusions and Tone- Prestige

Today in class you are going to have a small group discussion about the four questions that were your homework for  today.
1. What are some examples of illusions in The Prestige?
2. How do these illusions contribute to the TONE of the book? Significance?
3. What do you identify as the TONE of the book? What is the author's purpose?
4. What is the reason that this text was chosen to start the year? Why this book?

As you go through these questions... you are expected to supplement your already constructed notes. ADD to them!

After your discussion, you will be using the reply section of this post as an electronic discussion board/collection of group notes.  EACH GROUP will need to report on their findings of their group discussion. Thoughts... findings... questions...  Please list the group members at the beginning of the post. The more thorough you are in your reporting... the better grade your group will receive. Yep.. GRADE. The notes are due by the end of class.

REVISED: Use the following document to record notes... and reply...  Please CLEARLY LABEL YOUR RESPONSES... Place them under the group notes..

Next, EACH STUDENT will have to REPLY to the group notes by commenting on what they have learned from reading the other groups' posts. These can be further questions... additions... different directions. You are expected to read EACH GROUPS' findings... reply to THREE.  The replies are due by Monday morning.
