  6. Mr. Beyer and Mr. Acker’s shared value—developing our talents Both Mr. Acker and I believe in developing our talents. When Mr. Acker was in high school, he played football at Germantown Academy. Now he coaches football for GVMS. As a kid, my parents made him take piano lessons, but I was not very good. About twenty years ago someone gave my family a piano. I started to practice playing again and actually have gotten better than I ever was a kid. Mr. Acker and I have taken skills we had as teenagers and used and improved them as adults.

  7. Prompt Select a single value that you and the protagonist1 of your PCR novel2 share. Develop two or three examples from the novel that compare how you and this character think, feel, and act in a similar way. 1 Protagonist is the novel’s main character 2 PCR novel is one option; you could use Victor Flores from Crossing the Wire.

  12. The Outline—Its 3 PointsDO NOT WRITE SENTENCES—WORDS AND PHRASES WILL DO!

  13. The Outline—Its 3 PointsDO NOT WRITE SENTENCES—WORDS AND PHRASES WILL DO! Point 2 The Protagonist Point 1 Definition Point 3 Analysis How important is this value in the protagonist’s life? Does this value’s importance change in the novel? How does this value shape this characters actions in the novel? Is there a quote that you can use? How does he/she show the value in the novel? Find two scenes or examples. What actions or words demonstrate the value. Find a supporting quote. What is the shared value? Define it in several phrases or examples outside of the novel. Who has helped to instill in you this value?

  14. CITATION Format(Author,page)(Hobbs, 27) (Rowling, 176)(Patterson, 231)

  15. 4 Concerns • Choose examples that support your value. • Do not use examples from one chapter only. • Explain the scene/event in some detail. • Is there an anchor quote for one or more of the examples?

  18. What makes a good concluding paragraph? An effective conclusion re-connects the reader with the opening ¶ and thesis statement. An effective conclusion NEVER REPEATS the wording of the opening ¶ and thesis statement. An effective conclusion NEVER introduces a new point. An effective conclusion has a memorable last sentence: something wise, passionate, or funny.

  19. THE Re-Statement for LQ#1—Roll of Thunder Remind the reader of the value that the you and the protagonist share. How has this value shaped both of your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions?

  32. AUTHOR and TITLE Sentence Starters Updated: October 8, 2012

  33. AUTHOR and TITLESentence Starters Sentence starters you should AVOID! • In my book [TITLE] …. • In [TITLE] the book I am reading …. • In [AUTHOR’S] book that I am reading…. • I am reading [AUTHOR’S] book, [TITLE], ….

  34. AUTHOR and TITLESentence Starters A sentence starter you should NOT RELY upon! • In [TITLE] by [AUTHOR] ….

  35. SHOW • EXAMINE • PORTRAY • TELL • DRAMATIZE • WRITE • GIVE • ILLUSTRATE • PROVIDE • RELATE • DESCRIBE • PRESENT AUTHOR and TITLESentence Starters You also need to use ACTION VERBS. Here’s a dozen verbs that can help you form strong sentences.

  36. [AUTHOR] + ACTION VERB …. + ACTION VERB …. [TITLE] In these sentences the “title” or the “author” is the SUBJECT; the book or the person who wrote it “does” the action in the action verb. SHOW EXAMINE PORTRAY TELL DRAMATIZE WRITE GIVE ILLUSTRATE PROVIDE RELATE DESCRIBE PRESENT

  37. Two EXAMPLES of how to use the AUTHOR as the SUBJECT • [AUTHOR] + ACTION VERB …. • William Hobbs examines the dangers faced by immigrants who attempt to cross the border into the United States. • Mildred Taylorpresents the hard life of sharecropping better than any history book could.

  38. Another way include an author’s name as the SUBJECT …. + [AUTHOR] + ACTION VERB In [TITLE] In this sentence the “author” is the SUBJECT; he or she “does” the action in the action verb. SHOW EXAMINE PORTRAY TELL DRAMATIZE WRITE GIVE ILLUSTRATE PROVIDE RELATE DESCRIBE PRESENT

  39. Some EXAMPLES of how to include AUTHOR and TITLE • In [TITLE] + [AUTHOR] + ACTION VERB …. • In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee tells the story of Scout and Jem Finch who grow up in a small Alabama town during the 1930’s. • In her only novel, Harper Lee presents Atticus’s struggle to raise his childrenand to shield them from the racism surrounding them.

  40. To write sentences using the author and title effectively, you need: • to refer to the author by his/her full name or just the last name. • to italicize and capitalize the Title when writing your response. • to avoid using both the author and title together every time you mention the book.
