Language Arts 9 Period 3: April 13th - 17th

Posted: April 13, 2020

Happy Easter, Everyone!  I heard from probably 3/4 of you last week, and everyone said that they had a book they could read and analyze.  For those of you who didn't get back to me, I would love to hear about what you might have at home that we could work with - we can adapt almost anything, so just let me know.

The first element we will consider this week is the setting of the story.  In the documents posted below, I have one that reviews what setting is, and has the assignment questions.  The other document is sample answers.  I will do the book study with you, but I will do three books: a fiction book (Wonder, by Emma Donahue), a non-fiction (true story) book (Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson), and a graphic novel (The Adventure Zone: Here There be Gerblins by the McElroy Brothers and Carey Pietsch).  Hopefully, the sample answers will guide you as you figure out the setting of the book you are reading.  

Remember, also, that every book is different.  You may need to adapt the questions a bit to suit your own book.  You don't have to ask to do that - it shows critical thinking, and I will be able to figure out why you had to change things up a bit for your book.

I will post this on "Teams," as well - you can send your answers in right there, and ask any questions by hitting "reply" underneath the post.  If you would rather just grab things from here, and email your responses, you can contact me at jean.macdonald2@nbed.nb.ca.

Happy reading!
