PROMPT FOR TODAY:  What do you think your author’s overall message is?  What lessons are you learning from your book?  What makes you think that?  (keep this idea in mind–and it’s OK to change as you read more and have new information).

 

 

REMINDER:  Here are some of the questions you’ll have to deal with in your presentation

 

Characters and Text Structures

• Who are the characters? What are they all about?

Overview/Summary of Book Take Away

• Review your connections and theories from your reading, and discussions you have been a part of. Share one insight you have gained that impacts the way you read, the way you see central ideas in or across the text, or the way you interact with others.

Explain how your author connects details, or uses a single element or structure of autobiography, biography, or memoir to promote a central idea.

What life lesson was learned? By the characters? By the reader?

Favorite Quote(s)/Passage(s)

• Identify some of your favorite quotes or passages AND analyze what they mean and why you chose them.
