Reading Classes: Uses Word Choice to Close Read: Mentor


Using your 'Close Reading Protocol,'   Write a blog post that interprets your a parent or siblings word choice over the next 3 days. Make a list of all the words they use that stand out to you, then apply the protocol. You will be amazed by what you discover! (Due: Next Mon.) This will be assessed!

Check yesterday's post so that you are clear about the writing H/W for tomorrow.


Kudos to Min Jung for her excellent work from today's session.
What makes this piece so strong? +1 for responses
and this was only half of her work today!

  1. Min Jung used lots of evidence from the text and her opinion.
    Today was an interesting class that was cool just to focus on word choice.

  2. Min Jung went into so much detail about the fact that the author used certain words to communicate this idea of fear. I thought it was excellent when she went into so much detail because that was one of the main points of the entire article. I was really amazed at the fact that the response on the blog was only 1/2 of her actual work. Right now, I can imagine that she wrote about all aspects of the article and gave an excellent reading response!

  3. I noticed that in one section, Min Jung specifically told us what she did. For example, she wrote, "As for me, I always wash my hands after I go to the bathroom..." She used an example from her everyday life to help strengthen her claim about the article. She clearly put a lot of effort into this response.

  5. Does the G/H class have to write the blog post that interprets your a parent or siblings?
