TWO OF THE WRITING ASSIGNMENTS
(1) Tiffany's Diary Activity / Figurative Language
> This is particularly engaging and fun!
> Designed for use after chapter five.
> Students write a diary entry by Tiffany. They must incorporate:
metaphor, simile, hyperbole, and details from the novel.
> This is a fun and playful activity, students can get silly with it!
> No length requirement stated- teacher decides.
> Includes explanation of how students will peer grade one another.
> After peer grading, it's easy for the teacher to glance at the color coding -done by the student grader- and check for accurate peer grading. Consequently, grade book entries are faster.
> Use of peer grading is not necessary to use the resource.
(2) The Story Continues….
> A post-reading creative writing assignment, not formal essay style.
> Blanks for teacher/student to fill in for flexibility in length requirement.
> Some of the requirements stated are: use of dialogue, a mood which is in sync with the novel’s mood, and writing follows naturally from the end of the book.
END OF NOVEL ESSAY
> A reflective and structured way to wrap up the novel.
> Four essay topics for students select from:
- Parent-Teen Conflict
- Supernatural
- Native Issues
- Characters
> Each essay topic is followed by a paragraph of ideas and/or questions to stimulate student brainstorming - to get their ideas 'rolling.'
> Vocabulary used is grade 7-8.
> Page two provides the six traits of writing & detailed explanation of each.
> General writing expectations included (formal essay format)
> Expectations & formatting included, BUT, blank spaces are also provided for the teacher to write in specific expectations.
JOURNAL
> Focus of entries is on character development:
"Your task throughout this novel is to collect quotes which reveal aspects of our novel’s characters."
> 4 pgs
