Reading for depth, heart, and intellect

Ender's Game: What does leadership cost?

There are some easy steps to help you focus on your reading and what to annotate. Writers do write so that you have a relationship with the text. Just like your relationship with anyone- there are first impressions and introductions; you have to repeat yourself sometimes because people forget; you have to make mistakes, feel awkward, angry, hopeful, and sad; you have to share experiences and find understanding. Read not for the ending, but for the journey. Since we know these things are there- we should be able to make a list of conversation starters and relationship builders. For now we are going to walk through them slowly and show them too you. Because, after all, we are building a relationship with reading.

For Ender's Game we made a work cited and talked about the original publication date. If Ender's Game was originally written in 1977 (and even earlier as a short story) what was the world like in the 1960-70's that would have influenced the author? Look up information and add it to your Ender's Game notes.
