Happy Monday,
For this week, students will be nearing the end their short stories Unit. Continue to familiarize yourselves with the "elements of a short story." All terms and definitions can be found both online and in their handouts on literary terms.
After finishing the movie freedom writers, students will be asked to write a short reflective piece on the theme of change. While watching, students were asked to follow a character from start to finish. They will then write a one page response to their chosen character. Please include the following elements in your writing:
An introduction with setting and context (say what you are going to say).
A transition statement between the introduction and the character you are following.
Clear examples of how the character changed. Use embedded quotes to provide support for your examples (say it)
A concluding statement which re-states your main premise or idea (say what you said).
This will be marked out of 6 using our writing rubric and doubled for a total of 12.
