On Monday, we watched the second John Green Crash Course video about the novel. Here's a link to both segments:

These videos, I hope, will be helpful to students as they consider the themes in the novel they will use on their literary analysis essays. There are three handouts associated with this essay.
The first is an overview which includes due dates and a grading rubric.
