On the back 6-8 QUALITY sentences • Should not be short and choppy. You’re not in 3rd grade anymore • Use a clear topic sentence, supporting details from the book, concluding statement • Pay attention to: • Spelling and punctuation • Run-ons and fragments • This may be factored into your grade
On the back “You need to use examples and information from the book to explain your answer.” • Need specific details • Don’t be vague • I should be able to tell you actually read the book
On the back • Choose different topics for each written portion. • If you don’t understand a prompt, ask for clarification or just don’t do that one • If you feel none of the prompts applies to your reading, see me and we’ll come up with something else for you to write about
Sample of “Good writing” • Prompt: How are you similar to and/or different from the main character? • See Word Document
NO LONGER ACCEPTED AS THE LAST SENTENCE OF YOUR PARAGRAPH Anything along these lines: “And that is why I chose to answer prompt 1.” “That is why I like the main character so much.” “Those are the 3 things I would do if I were the main character.”
