Week 13: Six Word Stories, Tone, Lit Circles 3 of 4

Monday: Touchstone 3 or Mock ACT (Honors)

Tuesday: Explore & sort Six Word Stories on this document

Wednesday: Review frequently missed questions on Touchstone 3 or Mock ACT (Honors), then catch up on blog posts or work on your novel assignments

Thursday: Choose your favorite Six Word Story (or create your own!), and research a current event that relates to it in TONE. Read and hyperlink the article, then summarize the article into a Six Word Story that reflects the same TONE using specific DICTION.

* On your blog, post both six-word stories, a hyperlink to the article itself, and a hyperlinked image relevant to the article and the tone. Identify the tone that connects the stories and image, and highlight or underline the DICTION that reflects the TONE.

Friday: Time for Fishbowl 3! Read and compose a text-supported answer to three of the following issues in the third portion of your novel:

1. Rewrite this part of your book in six words. Discuss how the diction reflects the tone of this section of your novel.

2. Discuss a pivotal (incredibly important) moment in this portion of the text without revealing how or if it is resolved. Create a cliffhanger or discuss the cliffhanger the author created.

3. Explain the depth of human experience the main character reveals. How is he or she more than just a single story? How is he or she nuanced (characterized bu both positive and negative traits)?

4. How is one of the literary patterns in your booklet reflected in the third quarter of your novel?
