Reading assignment for 1/14/15- Illustration/Writeup

Your reading assignment is as follows:

Choose and Re-read

• Choose and re-read one important scene in your book to illustrate.  

Draw

• Draw a detailed picture based on details from the book, as well as any inferences you make about the scene.  Basic drawings are fine, as long as they include relevant details.  You may include captions or speech bubbles if you need to.  Be sure to list the book title, chapter and page number.

Write

• On a separate page, write a paragraph that describes and retells the scene.  Your paragraph should also answer the question, "Why is this scene important in the story?"  In other words, how does the author use this scene to develop the plot, theme, or other major element of the story?
