DUE MONDAY
THE TSUNAMI AND THE CHERRY BLOSSOM paragraph -- DRAFT TO BE GRADED
ACADEMIC vs SOCIAL LIFE paragraph - DRAFT TO BE GRADED
READING BOWL ESSAY - Introductory paragraph - DRAFT TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK
Remember: Your introductory paragraph should include your thesis statement, the title and author of the book, a BRIEF plot synopsis so that a reader understands what you are taking about (but only describe plot elements that are relevant -- don't talk about Suzy if your thesis is about Tom), and the three points which will prove your thesis.
DUE TUESDAY:
THE BOOK THIEF - Re-read Prologue and up to page 45
I suggest you do not wait until Monday night to do this. Ideally, you should first read the assigned passage without your pen. Put the book down and absorb the reading. Later, at a different time, go back and read the second time with your pen and make thoughtful and well-considered notes. Circle vocab words (words you don't know).
TYPE and bring to class 3 points to be discussed during our conversation. As always, these points can be about symbol, motif, theme. Make sure you thoroughly explain each point and include a text reference (page number, quote).
8th Grade Literature:
DUE MONDAY

3 points to be discussed during our conversation. As always, these points can be about symbol, motif, theme. Make sure you thoroughly explain each point and include a text reference (page number, quote).
I suggest you do not wait until Sunday night to do this. Ideally, you should research the 1950's first. Then read the assigned passage without your pen. Put the book down and absorb the reading. Later, at a different time, go back and read the second time with your pen and make thoughtful and well-considered notes. Circle vocab words (words you don't know).
