Make sure your Timeline and TChart are complete

C5:  Write 2 questions for each level of inquiry

Level 1: Easy to find evidence for the answer in the story. There is definitely a right or wrong answer.
Example: How does Rosaura know Luciana?

Level 2: There is a best answer, but it is difficult to tell what it is. There is evidence in the story, but it prompts further discussion. You might get evidence from multiple places in the text and the answer will probably sound more like an essay.
Example: In the beginning of the story Rosaura and her mother argue. Explain the difference between Rosaura’s opinion about the wealthy family and her mother’s.

Level 3: This is often a prediction or opinion based question. There is no clear right or wrong answer. You can use detail from the story, but it isn’t necessary in order to answer the question correctly.
Example: How does money change people?

Update

Semester 1 grades are final for the most part.  The graded narrative interviews were returned through email. 

You will need a spiral for the second semester of English 1.  It will count as 15% of your grade. 

Tuesday, January 7 - We learned how to do Quickwrites with Focused Corrections.  Great job!  If you were absent, copy the format from a classmate.  Quickwrites cannot be made up, but there will be plenty in the future.
