Today during USSR, we read chapters 6 and 7 with a purpose. Each student had a number of post-it notes to tack to key quotes they would later use in the paragraph. If you were absent today, please complete the paragraph at home.
We read the two chapters in 20 minutes. Spent 10 minutes creating a chart and 30 minutes writing the formal, literary paragraph.
Discuss how Jem learns the truth about Boo. In your discussion, be sure to examine the reasons Jem cries at his discoveries (at the end of chapter 7).
Be sure to create a solid, insightful chart before you begin writing.
Tomorrow, we will review how to write and punctuate dialogue.
PLEASE BRING A PAGE OF DIALOGUE FROM YOUR STORY FOR A QUICK EDITING SESSION.
YOUR COMPLETED STORY (READY FOR PEER EDITING) IS DUE FRIDAY.
Type it out. Edit it as best you can. Focus on the criteria you will be marked on. Double space it. Print it out.
