Prewriting 1st Qtr Book Report

Mr. Stone shared his recent poem "We Came to Count the Cypress" for a devotional thought tied to the story of the Good Samaritan.

Students turned in the two summary paragraphs of the first quarter book report selection.

Students were directed to take out their T-charts and first prewriting table for the book report. They were directed to number the four aspects on the T-chart they are choosing to use in their paper.

Mr. Stone circulated through the classroom to check for the completion of the students' T-charts. Each T-chart should have a total minimum of ten aspects listed. The T-chart helps the student determine his/her viewpoint on the book. For example, if the student had seven aspects listed on the likes/strengths side and three on the dislike/weakness side, then the student is likely to recommend the book. If another student had four aspects listed on the likes/strengths side and six on the dislikes/weaknesses side, then that student is likely to not recommend the book.

Mr. Stone also checked for the completion of the first prewriting table.

Students were expected to complete another table and half to two tables during class time and to finish the last of the four tables for homework.

Homework: Complete any of the four body paragraph prewriting tables not completed during class time.
