Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze short fiction and write a constructed response in order to improve reading and writing comprehensive skills.
DO NOW - write the explanations for each step that you started writing on Wednesday.....
1. Restate - simply turn around the prompt and make it your first sentence of your CRQ. Stay as close to the actual words as possible.
2. Explain - explain in your own words. Sometimes provide the definition of a term and/or explain the part of the plot that the prompt is about.
3. *Quote - Provide textual evidence that supports your explanation. This means find a direct quote from the text!
4. *Explain - how does your quote connect and support your idea? Your explanation should be at least as long as your quote or longer!!! THIS IS KEY because it proves that you understand the text AND what the question is asking of you.
5. Conclude - Make sure the question or prompt is answered thoroughly and accurately. Perhaps add a closing thought in your own words. You should use a few of the key words from the prompt in your conclusion to be sure you are answering the question and coming full circle.

PROMPT FOR JANE"S BACK from Yesterday
Analyze Jane's comments to Simon on page two of the story, Jane's Back, and infer what their relationship was prior to Jane arriving at the diner. Use textual evidence to support your answer.
Complete your CRQ from yesterday on the graphic organizer. Make sure I check it before you move forward.
Then use that as a guide to write into PROSE form using a NEO.
Also, keep your notebooks out. I will be doing a notebook check.
