Agenda:
Read
Creating a setting
Anticipating test questions
Create a Setting:
- OPEN your English Journal.
- CHOOSE a character from your group book that doesn't have his or her own setting, or who's setting is not well described.
- DISCUSS that character and his/her setting with your group.
- WRITE a descriptive paragraph about the setting for that character. (In English Journal)
- EXPLAIN (in a second paragraph) what you are trying to show about the character with the setting you created.
Test Preparation:
- You have another quiz about your book next week.
- You should be about 50% done with your book by then.
- One way to prepare for a test is to anticipate what questions you might see on the test.
- Get out a piece of paper. (Just one for your group.)
- Be sure to include your book title, and the names of people in your group.
- Write 5-10 questions you think we might ask you about your book.
- Include multiple choice questions and short answer questions.
- Remember, think like a teacher. What would we ask you?
- Consider that this week we worked on character, setting, and mood.
Be sure your English Journal is caught up.
Keep up with the reading in your group novel. I hear you have a test next week.
