Today Part 1 of the Novel Portfolio is due. Students should hand in their work along with the grading rubric for that part. Part 2 is due March 5.
We read from Words By Heart, and students worked in small groups and on their own to come up with ideas for Symbolic Story Representations. We used this work sheet:
S.S.R. Symbolic Story Representation:
As we read today, select one scene from Words By Heart and fill in below what objects, pictures, and shapes you could use in a Symbolic Story Representation.
Your scene is ________________________________________________
You would use --
1) An object, picture, or shape to represent you as a reader and what you do as a reader as you read this scene. What could you use?
2) An object, picture, or shape to represent at least one theme (a big, important idea) from the scene. What could you use?
3) Three or more other objects, pictures, or shapes to represent events, characters, setting, or themes from the scene. What could you use and what would each represent?
