Day 1
Language Arts: Novel Study - due January 31st.
You will not be working on the independant novel study every class. It is necessary that you do some of the work on your own time.
Before Christmas break, we started an independant novel study. Some of you haven't made a novel selection. Some of you made a selection and started reading, but did not bring your novel with you.
To be prepared for class you need to:
- Bring your novel
- Read it during class
- Do the required chapter work for each chapter
MARKS WILL BE DEDUCTED ON A DAILY BASIS FOR THOSE WHO COME TO CLASS UNPREPARED OR WHO DO NOT WORK PRODUCTIVELY DURING ALLOTTED CLASS TIME.
Each chapter:
- to be read and summarized. (paragraph)
- write a prediction of the following chapter - what do you think will happen next? (paragraph)
- You need to select 5 words you didn't know, found complicated, or select words that are not used in your typical day-to-day conversation.
- Write the word down.
- State what page it came from in your novel.
- using a dictionary, define the word.
A novel is a narrative story. If it is a book that has chapters, this does not necessarily mean that it is telling a story.
Thank-you.
