I have had some questions about how to complete Reading Assignment 1 (Due Friday, September 16). The students should be familiar with the format, as we have completed similar charts for other stories we have read together in class.
Still, here are some steps to follow, if you are helping your student to complete this assignment:
1) Cross out "complication" on the list of items to be explained, because we have not covered this adequately in class.
2) Explain how the setting is important (or not) to the plot.
3) Fill in the other blanks as they relate to the book the student has completed (a book of the student's choosing):
* conflict (the problems/challenges the main character faces)
* climax (the most exciting part of the story - - usually having to do with the conflict)
* resolution (when the conflict is resolved/problem is solved).
4) Plot those items on the plot chart (the piece that looks like a graph).
5) Answer two questions about the characters in the story – who are the main characters andwhat words could be used to describe them?
I'm looking forward to reading what the students have to share about the books they have read!
