Hello,
Today we will begin book talks. We should all be looking forward to hearing about a wide range of book ideas for future reading. While you listen you will be evaluating how interesting the book sounds to you and the likelihood of you reading it in the future.
Please take out a sheet of paper and a writing utensil.
Sign in with a word that relates to your book’s topic.
Thank you,
Ms. Zumberge

Happy New Year Students,
I hope you all had a fun and relaxing break. Today I will be handing back “Touching Spirit Bear” essays and we will go over them. We will also sign up to give non-fiction book talks which start tomorrow.
Sign in by giving me one word to describe your winter break.
Thank You,
Ms. Zumberge
HOMEWORK: Prepare your non-fiction book talk presentation.
Common Essay Issues
- No “I” statements. Remove yourself from an analysis essay. It should sound like an objective conclusion anyone could reach if they read the work under discussion.
- Need to embed DQs. This can be tricky at times, but it makes for coherent writing.
- Before / After Structure. This was something we talked about a lot in class and for your first five-paragraph analysis essay, I wanted you to get this format down as it was the most logical way to analyze Cole’s change.
- Introduce Characters. When writing literary analysis papers, it is sometimes necessary to introduce each character you bring up as if the reader has never read the piece of writing. (e.g. adding an appositive phrase; Garvey, Cole’s parole officer)
