Today's focus is page 3 of your assignment packet, which is your theme chart. The theme is the deeper meaning, life lesson, moral lesson, or analysis of human nature in a story.
Novels often have more than one theme in the story. On this sheet, you will first write down each of the themes from your book. Then, in the second column you will give textual evidence (a quote) from your book showing this theme. Finally, in the last column you will give an explanation and analysis of how this theme is conveyed (shown) throughout your story. **Also, follow our class Instagram @missmuellersclass . I am posting explanation videos, reminders, and going live daily for tutoring/extra help. As always, feel free to email me or text me on Remind if you have any questions!

Characterization = the descriptions, appearance, personality, actions, etc. of each character in your story

It's important that you continue to boost your Lexile score while we are not at school. Read the book that you selected on Thursday/Friday before the break first so that you can complete your assignments. However, here are some ideas of options that you can read if you get tired of the independent reading book you have selected:
Do you have any other free online resources that you like to use to read?--Especially you anime lovers! Email me any links that you would like to share with the rest of our class. Take advantage of this time to curl up and read a good book! :-) |
