Please continue to work on your first draft for the elementary reader project. By the end of class today you should have printed out a copy of your first draft. We will be coming back to this assignment to include illustrations and bind the story into a "book."
But in the meantime, please complete the following, if you finish early.
1. Please turn in your homework: response about the complications in Marking Period 2 of SPEAK.
2. Please read the 3rd marking period.
3. In your journal...
a. Make a list of adolescent problems (you can get ideas from the wall wisher page).
b. Write about a time you failed at something.
c. Use one of the chapter headings in Marking Period 3 and write a poem or short story or play using the theme of the chapter.
Usually 3/4 of the way through a novel, the characters, plot, and conflict clearly established, an author will bring his protagonist to a dark moment--a point in the character's life where all odds seem to be against him/her. Usually this dark moment leads to what is called a turning point (the beginning of the climax for the novel). As you read Marking Period 3, what would you consider to be the event that is the protagonist's DARK MOMENT?
