If you missed class on Monday, we completed the following:
1. We discussed the 6 different types of questions. Notice that I have indicated them for you below. We reviewed what took place within chps. 1-4. We continued by viewing those same chapters via the film. Then we read chapter 5 together, and we reviewed chp. 6-8 via the synopsis sheet .
HOMEWORK:
1. Please read Chps. 7-8 and complete your vocabulary for both chapters.2. Develop 3 different questions for chapter 7, selecting from the different types of questions. Develop 3 different questions or chapter 8, selecting from the remaining type of questions that you did not create for chapter 7. Make sense? So, you are writing 6 different questions, 3 for 7 and 3 for 8, but you aren't repeating any of the question types.
3. I returned all the Memoir Assignments. You were asked to revise them and then have your first draft ready for Friday, the 11th!
