Your copy of your choice book must be in class with you tomorrow, or I'll place you in a new group, with a book that I have on hand. The reading doesn't officially begin until tomorrow night. In class tomorrow, we'll look at some reviews of your books.
If you were absent today, please TWIST--on a new page in your notebook--the introductory paragraph of your choice book. The following is a breakdown of the acronym:
•Tone: the writer or speaker’s attitude toward a subject, character, or audience. The emotional effect of the writing
•Word Choice: consider denotative (dictionary, literal) and connotative (emotional, figurative) meanings
•Imagery: language that creates sensory impressions and evokes specific responses to characters, objects, or events
•Style: a particular way of employing language. Could be specific to a genre or a specific writer.
•Theme/thematic idea: a central message of a literary work. All of the above elements should support the theme.
Beginning tomorrow night, you will have reading homework each night from your choice book. Additionally, you are required, for each night's reading, to complete 2 question and 3 comment post-its.
