English 9: Writing an effective quotation log . . .

Today both classes worked extremely well and YOU accomplished so much!

Read and re-read the yellow criteria sheet samples so that you ensure your responses do the following:

• ADD INSIGHT TO YOUR TOPIC
• FOCUS ON WHAT THE QUOTE REVEALS ABOUT THE CHARACTER, THEME OR SITUATION
• USES VOCABULARY ACCURATELY FROM OUR LIST
• ANSWERS THE QUESTION WHY? 
• DOES NOT RE-WORD THE QUOTATION
• GETS YOU EXCITED ABOUT THE BOOK
• CONNECTS TO OTHER SCENES IN THE BOOK 

Your job here is to elucidate the themes and characters in the book because you will be writing a persuasive essay the first week back after spring break.

Tonight: No homework. Read a good book and relax.

Tomorrow: You will have the entire class to finish your quotation log AND create your cover page so bring paper, markers, pencil crayons, etc . . .

Friday: Quotation Log is due!  Friday we will have a number of "special" activities. Can anyone define euphemism???

IF YOU WERE ABSENT TODAY, EMAIL ME ONE QUOTATION AND ONE RESPONSE SO THAT I CAN GIVE YOU FEEDBACK. SSTENSON@SD63.BC.CA
