English 8:
Pre-reading discussions for new novel study.
Update journal prompts we used for Henry K Larsen to reflect updated criteria for our next novel, Word Nerd. This sheet is to be kept in your portfolio so it’s always there when we are working through that text. If you missed today’s class, you will need to update the sheet in your portfolio by using the notes below:
1)How has the plot advanced? **4-8 full sentences**
2) Were there any new characters introduced? Describe them. **give their name; list as many point form details about them as you can**
3) Were there any words that were new to you in this section? If so, copy out the word(s) and the definition(s). If there weren’t any new words, choose at least two unique or interesting words, copy them out and write their definitions.
4) Reflecting on this section of reading, make a connection between an aspect of the text and your own life. Write a NARRATIVE PARAGRAPH that is at least 6-10 sentences in length. Focus on proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure (including capital letters).
5) What do you think will happen in the next section? **1-2 full sentences **
6)Was your prediction correct from your last entry? **full sentence required with an explanation for why it was or wasn’t correct **
Hand out new novels and update book cards.
Creative writing prompt (for portfolio):

Please ensure you bring Word Nerd to class with you on Tuesday as we’ll be starting the book then.
