Quarter 3
The above website has an example of the Bob stabbing scene from Johnny's point of view. It shows you how to write in first person from your character's stance. However, it is not a great example of format; there are issues with paragraphing. Remember the dialogue formatting from your Hero Quest assignment - or look at the rules listed from quarter 1. Also this example uses vocabulary that I'm not sure Johnny would know; it seem too advanced for Johnny. Keep your character's education and personality in mind when writing your own.
QUARTER 4
We are reading different novels in our literature circle groups. We have had 3 note cards due. Each note card should have questions about the assigned reading. The types of questions are below. The 3rd note card also needed to have at least 2 vocab words, sentences with page #s, and definitions.
The 5 Types of Questions
1. Plot/Character Questions
2. Author's Style Questions
3. Hypothetical - ex. "What would you have done in that situation?"
4. Predictions - ex. "How do you think they will escape?"
5. Connections to Self or other Texts
