  1. THE CHOCOLATE WAR How do we disturb the universe?

  2. BR: The Chocolate Quiz • Pick up a handout from the front table • Answer the questions you can about the types of chocolate there are.

  3. Anticipation Guide • This will span the length of the novel – we will complete it once before reading (pre reading), and then revisit the same topics to see if any of our opinions changed since reading (post reading). • After marking a response, I will ask for feedback on these concepts

  4. Vocabulary Building • Working with shoulder partner, discuss the vocabulary questions (PART 1 ONLY) • Can you use text to define these words? • We will revisit PART 2 after we read the chapters to see if we gained an understanding of the new words • I suggest you staple it in your notebook or place in your folder (since it is sort of thick)… DO NOT LOSE THIS!!! • TIME TO BEGIN READING…

  5. Reader’s Response Journal • Set up “Response Journal” – all the discussion questions are geared towards the text only; the journal will allow some personal response to the characters and plot development • THIS IS WRITING ASSIGNMENT 1… • After each reading installment, you will write a personal reaction. This will be in CONSECTIVE order in your ISN so leave about 4-5 pages (or more depending on your writing size!). Set it up in your TOC to reflect this. • I will ultimately count this as a separate writing assignment grade so be thorough, insightful, creative, and personal.

  6. Chapters 1-5 • Staple the reading questions in your book – we will use this sheet for the ENTIRE novel and come back to it after each installment for discussion questions. DO NOT LOSE IT!!! • “Read” (i.e. listen) to the first chapter (s) • Read independently to complete through chapter 5 – answer all questions • Reading and Vocab Assessment to follow

  7. ASSESSMENT WEDNESDAY – October 30 • Reading Comprehension • Vocabulary • Connotation • Denotation

  8. Continue Reading • Next installment: chapters 6-13 • Complete Vocab Pre-Reading Text Sentences • Listen to audio – chapters 6 – 9+ on Thursday and Friday, completing RRJ after each (10/31-11/1) • SSR – chapters 10-13; Complete RRJ – Monday (11/4) • Group Discussion Questions and Vocab Multiple Choice –Tuesday (11/5)

  9. Installment 2 Review • Group Discussion Questions with 5 o’clocks. • Create a one word sentence that develops each chapter. • Illustrate one vocab word • TOTAL FORMATIVE POINTS: 20 • Checking RRJ while you are working – worth 30 formative points

  10. Installment 2 Summative • Choose any character from the novel and develop the events thus far from his perspective. • Write as a person with an investment in the events, an emotional involvement - not as a summary or recollection. • Please set up the heading of your paper to include your name, class period, date, and chosen character. • Place in bin at the end of the class .

  12. Writing Assignment 2:Non-Fiction Informative Writing TUESDAY – WEDNESDAY: Complete a WebQuest (search) on your chosen topic: • Make a list of questions you have about your topic in your ISN (leave room to write in answers you find during your research) • Complete the resource sheet for each article you find useful and choose to use. • Be sure to return to your questions with the answers you find after you have done some research! • After you have the answers, and some other ideas jotted down (maybe some interesting things you discovered that you did not originally question), number them in an order you think would make sense when developing them into an “essay”

  13. NON-FICTION WRITING CONTINUED: THURSDAY – FRIDAY: Drafting, Editing, Final Writing • Continue your research to discover the answer to your questions about your topic. Remember to record source information in your packet – worth 20 points! • Turn your thoughts in to a mini writing assignment – about 3-4 paragraphs - sharing what you discovered in your search (but remember to keep it in third person – it’s INFORMATIVE!) • Make sure you cite the author from the source you are using (or the title if no author is given) • Take some time over the weekend to review your text and edit your paper – turn in on Monday, 11/18 • IF you feel confident before leaving for the weekend, you can turn it in on Friday • Be sure you turn in the WHOLE packet for full credit – and a grade. Your rubric is built into the handout! Staple the writing piece to the back and place it in the bin.
