Synthesis of Course Material 2: The Art of Annotations and Class Discussions

We get these wonder little novels and plays that we first read. Then we go and reread the thing and then write in lots and lots of comments and questions in and then we discuss. It's fun.
But theres also a sense of discovery to it. Because what you thought the first time definitely wasn't what you thought of the second read and may chance once hearing your classmates opinions. The first reason we do this is because we need to practice for the AP because you'll have to read lots and lots and sift through lots and lots to find the meaning of the work. In a sense, it helped with the close reading prompts we have to do but the novels we read and discuss about also help with the open prompts.
The open prompts are prompts given but you are open to use an work "of literary merit" (I'm talking to you Twilight) to prove the claim that the prompt has given so. So of course the works we read are somewhere controversial and always layered with opinions and dozens of Wild Mass Guesses because we all need to establish what the meaning of the novel was.
I think, most of the time, there are several meanings working within one large meaning the novel is trying to convey with the things we read because the open prompts vary and we need to have a large toolbelt of experience and exposures to different means with can pick from when writing.
