Today,I collected Reading Logs and gave out new ones. We also investigated thoroughly chapter 2 of COTW. We looked specifically at the three paragraphs at the beginning of the chapter that deal with Curly’s death. While re-reading we noted the point of view, the likenesses between Buck and humans, and looked carefully at how Curly’s death impacted the relationship between Buck and Spitz. We also looked at sample responses to quiz questions and noted what was necessary to earn the highest amount of points. See attached examples and identify for yourself the qualities of a stellar response. HW is to complete another LONG WRITE. For this particular long write, you should base it on a post it that has a strong reaction. I want you to please find a post-it that has a strong reaction, go back and read the part of the text that produced the strong reaction and try to identify how the author manipulated you to feel that way. What language did he use, was it a word, a phrase, a point of view?
Tomorrow we will share Flocabs, you should make time to come in and see some of your classmates work.
Reading Logs collected next Thursday 2/23 150 minutes.
