Plot Elements-Sample


When you review your own novel, make sure you have a good solid plot, complete with the 6 parts we have been discussing in English. You can significantly increase your word count by simply checking that you have included all parts of the plot and they are well described. Think sensory details and meaningful dialogue!

Nov 19 More Book Reviewing

Today is Tuesday Nov 19 and we are continuing with writing our book reviews. Most of you are reviewing The Pigman by Paul Zindel, in addition to another book of your choice.  Both reviews need to be completed in Google docs before you walk into Mrs. Roberts' English class tomorrow, Wednesday Nov 20.
I will be at a district training tomorrow, therefore you will need to use your time in here wisely to finish up your book reviews and rock in English tomorrow!

Welcome to My New Blog, 9th grade Support class students!

Example Book Review
Today is Monday Nov 18 and we are writing a draft of one of the two book reviews that are due Wed Nov 20. Although we have only one week left until Thanksgiving Break, I decided to begin a blog so that I can more easily post links, other types of supportive help, and keep everyone informed of what we are up to on a consistent basis.  Hope all goes smoothly.....
