Research Prompt 1

TBK: Locations

Make a chart that presents each the various locations in the text. In this chart, include the figures and scenes associated with each location. Make the charge visually accessible and engaging.  Write at least a 350-word analysis of how the novel uses location. Create a short quiz that summarizes the main points, a quiz that we can administer aloud during your presentation time, a quiz that presents questions you would like to discuss about locations in the novel.
