2. The Ordinary World
This week you will connect to the ordinary world and call to adventure of the character in the novel you are currently reading.
FIRST: Set up a GADGET or a PAGE to help you identify for your blog followers the books you are reading this year in grade 9.
You can do this in a few ways:
1. You can add a links list: add a link to the cover of the book or to a website that reviews the book. (You will need to go into the LAYOUT option on your dashboard and select ADD A GADGET.) **I have done this with blogs you went to for your first few assignments.
2. You can add an image (of the book cover) and a caption. (You will need to go into the LAYOUT option on your dashboard and select ADD A GADGET.) NOTE: I have done this in the side bar of the class blog. **I have also added a poll you can take today.
3. You can add a PAGE on which you post images of book covers and short reviews about each book. (You will do this through PAGES on your dashboard - your PAGES will show up across the TOP of your blog.) **I have added one to the top of the class blog called "Books I am reading".

THEN: You can work on your new blog post connecting your novel to the ordinary world and the call to adventure.
1. How is the character in your novel's ordinary world conventional OR unconventional?
2. Which sources of conflict, change, circumstance, longing, pain or sorrow lead or force the character into a ‘Call to Adventure’ OR compel the character to stay put in their ordinary world and ‘Refuse the Call to Adventure’?
3. Why does the character LEAP or BOIL?
