Columbine Log/Reading for Monday Night

Tuesday will begin our discussions on Columbine.  In order to get the discussions rolling and to keep you organized, please begin the assignment below. Be sure to complete this assignment in your notebook.  If you wish to complete it on a computer, please understand that you will need to have it in class too.  Therefore, bring it with you each day.  We will also work on this Log in class.  Tonight's assignment is to begin the log for the first 6 chapters. You also must read Chapters 7 through 11.   Do not spend more than 1 hour and 15 minutes on the homework tonight.  A character list will be included, but please feel free to add characters as needed.  The assignment is as follows:

            Columbine introduces a host of different characters, as Mr. Cullen carefully and meticulously details their experiences, attitudes, and relationships.  Keeping track of all these personalities is essential for synthesis of Columbine.  With the following organizer, you will keep a record of the characters’ lives.  This is a record of history.  Therefore, you must choose the moments in which there was a significant description, event, relationship, conversation, or outside influence that revealed something about the character.  An example of how to begin is below. Remember that this will be on-going, so leave plenty of room to add notes on each!
