Today you learned about Key Word Outlines--KWO--and how to write a paragraph from the Cephalopods outline.
Don't forget the KWO rule:
#s & @s R $
Do you remember what that means?
Well, I won't tell you. But, I will tell you where you can find the answer. It's in your resource binder. :)
In today's class, you learned following three stylistic techniques.
- dressup 3 - strong verb
- dressup 6 - because clause
- sentence opener 1 - subject
This week you'll be typing up your paragraph with the stylistic techniques we learned. Make sure that you format your papers correctly and make sure you email me a copy by Tuesday.
What should your paper look like? Check your resource binder for an example of a correctly formatted paper. Here are few reminders:
- CLASS date & name
- class & teacher name
- draft number
- double-spaced

Title: Across Five Aprils
Author: Irene Hunt
Reading Dates: Sept 8 - Oct 5
This is a beautifully written book, filled with bloodshed, hate, and tears, but also with love, loyalty, and compassion, with unforgettable characters, and with ideas and implications that have meaning for young people today.—Chicago Tribune
Context:
Published when Irene Hunt was 57 years old, Across Five Aprils was the first book she ever printed. Amazingly, it received four awards! Taking the time to carefully research the culture and events of the Civil War, Hunt skillfully integrated historical fact & personal stories. Heavily gleaning from letters, records, and stories from her grandfather, Hunt created believable characters and places within the pages of her first novel.
What it's about:
Across Five Aprils is a story about the Creighton family and their struggle to survive during the Civil War. More specifically, it's about Jethro Creighton, a courageous boy who learns to deal with war, family death, and personal responsibility. Because of the events in his life, he is forced to grow up quickly. As readers, we watch him transform & develop as a character through the Five Aprils of the Civil War.
