How Would I Feel? - Turn in for a GRADE • Use this Frame Sentence to start your answer: • If I … , I would feel … because … . • Reword the question to start your sentence. Start with “If.” • How do you think you would have felt if you were alone and discovered a dead body beside your house? • Change forms of “you” to “I, me, my” • Put a comma after the “if” clause • Example: #1: If Iwere alone and discovered a dead body beside my house,I would feel panicked because I would be scared for my own life. I would wonder where the killer was and if he were still nearby. I would wonder what to do next; should I call the police or my mom? • Discussion Questions: • Is Chip a good speaker? What evidence does he use to bolster his case? • Is Sam’s father a good speaker? What sort of information does he use to support his claim? • How does Sam rebel against her father at the meeting? How does he respond? Are Sam’s actions – and her father’s response – believable? Are you surprised that Sam’s father later tells her he is proud of her for speaking at the meeting? • Do you think Sam and her father have a better understanding of each other now – or will they interact with each other the same as they always have?
