-OR CREATE YOUR OWN LINE OF THINKING!
Example:
I wonder……how the novel “The Cay” would be differerent if we changed the setting. Maybe, instead of the story taking place in 1942, it could happen now. In 2018. How would that change things? I bet they could use a drone to find the island. I know that if Phillip had a cell phone, it would have been water logged after falling off the life raft. Timothy too. Maybe the Navy has access to better boats today, ones that would not be afraid to sail too close to the reefs. If boats could do that, then they would know that the Devils’s Mouth existed and could easily get close enough to explore and search for survivors.
How to answer discussion questions or readers response questions (for quiz)
You may and SHOULD use your book!
1. Restate the question.
(2 character traits that Phillip shows are…..)
2. Answer the question and use text details, examples, and evidence to prove your answer correct.
How to Do Vocabulary
In order to help you be successful at mastering new vocabulary words, I have listed some procedures you will follow in my classroom.
Many words in the English language have multiple meanings. For example, the word “key” could be an object used to open a lock, it could be a low-lying island, it could a section of map, a set of answers to a test, the pitch of a sound or voice, etc. It is VERY important that when looking up a definition you make sure to choose the definition that seems most related to the unit of study going on in the classroom at that time. Don’t be lazy and automatically choose the first definition you come across. If it is the wrong definition, you will need to redo the work. Being lazy just costs you more time in the end….So….
- DO NOT be a Copy-Monkey. I know that you all know how to copy something word for word from a dictionary or use the cut and paste method. This however, is NOT why we look up vocabulary words. DON’T be a copy monkey.
2. Be sure you understand the definitions you write down. Ask me in class if you are unsure of a definition you have. I want you to take ownership of these words, build a strong vocabulary. Then you can use these words freely and correctly anywhere at any time! Let people see how smart and educated you are. Do not have your parents do your work for you!
3. There will be a variety of vocabulary quizzes throughout the year. Spend some time reviewing definitions at home with friends or family. This will pay off in the long run. We will talk about other study strategies soon.
