Today, we discussed the summaries you wrote for the short story. I gave you a template to follow, which I put on the board as such:
Sentence one (and possibly two) are the attention getters about the topic.
Sentence three is the 5 w summary about the text:
* In the ________________ (genre), ___________________________ (title)by ___________________ (author), the reader is introduced to _________________________ (main character or general characters), who ________________________________________ (situation).
Example: In the short story, "So What are You Anyway," by Lawrence Hill, the reader is introduced to a young girl who is dealing with the idea of colour as a result of her being on a plane ride alone.
I then discussed connotation and denotation with you. We did most of this on the board and with the aid of a worksheet (if you were not here, it is in your portfolio).
I then gave you questions to answer for the short story we read yesterday. You only have to do the written answer questions. We will do the multiple choice questions together tomorrow.
These are also in your portfolio (and both are attached).
