click here to go to my homepage I agree with the use of the WIKI and GoogleOffice to teach them use of technology in practice. I do not think that they need it to learn this particular material. Is the purpose of employing the WIKI to learn use of technology in practice, or to learn this acedemic material? Thanks! Kevin Roels

1. The Ten Little Indians Poem pg. 30 2. Everything---somehow--- was a little queer. The absence of the Owens, the pale ghostlike Mrs. Rogers. And the guests! Yes, the guests were queer too.

Never thought I would be doing this sort of job in a house here. Good thing, perhaps, that one can't foresee the future...." pg.36

Our group chose these because these passages of suspense made me want to read the book a little more. The suspense in this book is so good that I cannot stop reading this book, I am always like what's going to happen and where is it going to happen. The foreshadowing in this boo is also great. It helps me see what is going to happen next. We chose these passages because it gave us a clear image of what was going to happen next. Christer- Your group did choose good examples of foreshadowing and suspense. However, I am not sure I agree with you that you "have a clear image of what was going to happen next". The foreshadowing suggests that something is going to happen, but the reader does not know what the 'thing' is. As the reader, you certainly can make predictions, but you don't know if you're right until you read more of the story. There might be false clues that make you predict something that is entirely wrong. That's the strategy involved in writing a good mystery novel. Mrs. M 12-7-11
