This module deals with the descent of a teenage girl into the world of drugs. The book is written by “anonymous” in the form of a diary. This module lasts for one week.
Module Two Learning Activities
Read Go Ask Alice by Anonymous. An interesting activity when you are teaching a text is as follows: I call this pass the question. It is based upon the work of Dr. Robert Probst, an ELA educator and researcher.
Divide students into collaborative groups of four. Each student is given one question about the assigned text, which he or she then circulates amongst his/her group. Probst emphasizes asking open-ended questions about a text as opposed to posing questions that might elicit specific knowledge concerning literary devices. For example, we are not going for, “Where is the rising action in this book?”. Students pass each question about the text around to his or her group and each member writes an answer to the question. The group then discusses their answers to see if there are any common threads (similarities) or differences (contrasting ideas) in their responses. Groups are given a set amount of time to write responses to questions and to discuss them. You may then want to have a whole class discussion about one or more of the questions with groups reporting their findings.
Your assignment in this module will be to come up with four open-ended questions about Go Ask Alice.
In addition to this, you are to write a two page reflection on the book and how you might use it in a classroom and to comment specifically about how you might incorporate activities of an epistolary or diary-like nature that might compliment the reading and understanding of this text.
