Answer questions (8 questions)  5 points each       40 points
             Answer questions (3 points each)
             Complete sentences (2 points each)

                                                            Total 50 points x 2 = __________

Mind Mapping

Thursday and Friday you will make your own mind map over the story on Sacagawea.  Read the story and annotate/highlight important information.  Once you have done this you will make your mind map.  It must start with Mother Teresa in the center and branch out from there.  You should fill most of the page.  It must have pictures, writing, symbols, and lots of color.

Make sure to follow your example, and mind mapping guidelines as you do this.

This is due Friday by end of class.

Flash Fiction: Night

Flash Fiction: “Night”

On one sheet of paper do the following:

1.     Put your MLA heading on the paper (upper left side)

2.     Before you read decide what the story is about based on the title.  Write a sentence of what you think.

3.     Read the story silently to yourself and mark words you don’t know or words that stand out.

4.     Turn the paper over and write everything you remember happening in the story.

5.     Reread the story again as many ties as needed to fully understand what’s happening.

6.     Now add more details you discovered.  Write everything you learned after rereading.

7.     Write a paragraph telling what you think is happening in the story.

Once finished with the above, fill in the plot chart for the story.

Make sure everything is legible, then staple the papers together:  Notebook paper on top, plot chart next, and story on back.  Turn in for a grade.
