Today we will begin with our writing activity, saving our reading for when we finish.
Read carefully through the "Sample Body Paragraph" side of the handout provided. Note the features of the paragraph listed at the bottom of the page. This is what you will be striving for.
Turn the page over and read the directions. Using your self-selected passage from your summer reading novel, attempt to answer the prompt. It will probably be easiest to focus on a specific element of setting for this assignment, but pick something you'll have a lot to say about.
Please compose your paragraph on this page and place it in the bin when finished. You may then use the rest of the hour to read toward your goal page for Monday.
