Presentation Transcript

  1. Cassie describes the mercantile with great wonder when she says, “The Barnett Mercantile had everything. Its shelves, counters, and floor space boasted items from ladies’ ribbons to burlap bags of seeds; from babies’ bottles to brand-new potbellied stoves. […] The counter had a glass top, and beneath the glass were handguns artfully displayed on a bolt of red velvet." After waiting for an hour to be served, how would Cassie describe her experience in the store? Be sure to include her emotions and several of the events that occurred.

  2. Recognize an adjective clause when you see one. • An adjective clause—also called an adjectival or relative clause—will meet three requirements: • First, it will contain a subject and verb. • Next, it will begin with a relative pronoun [who, whom, whose, that, or which]. • Finally, it will function as an adjective, answering the questions What kind? How many? or Which one?

  3. “It’s the kind of smile you give to a chicken whose head you’re about to cut off.” • “She opened the door—and stared beyond the picket gate at Willis Hurd and his friends, who all broke into a sudden and uproarious laughter—all except Willis, who was smiling his chicken-killing smile.” • Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy • Gary D. Schmidt What do you notice about these beautiful mentor sentences???

  8. At first glance, it may appear that Kate DiCamillo waltzed onto the children's book scene and experienced nothing but success. Her first published novel, Because of Winn-Dixie, won a Newbery Honor in 2001. That book became a Hollywood film. In 2004 DiCamillo's book, The Tale of Despereaux, received the coveted Newbery Medal. But Kate DiCamillo's success did not happen overnight. For roughly a decade, before the public knew her name, DiCamillo worked odd jobs, submitted manuscripts, and collected nearly 400 rejection letters. "I decided a long time ago," DiCamillo says, "that I didn't have to be talented. I just had to be persistent." http://www.readingrockets.org/books/interviews/dicamillo
