Q: For pages 7 and 8 on the story’s PDF, do we have to answer the questions?
A: No, only answer the questions on the notetaker posted on Google Classroom.
Q: For the summary, do you have to restate the story and its meaning?
A: When you’re summarizing, you’re trying to explain what happens in the story as if you’re trying to communicate that to someone that has not read it. You should not say anything about the meaning — this is where you’re getting into theme, or the message of the story, which is a completely different skill. Summary should ONLY tell us what literally happens in the story.
Q: Am I missing any assignments?
A: Check Student Connect. If you have any missing scores for either Week 1 or Week 2 assignments, then yes, you have missing work. If that is confusing, feel free to reach out to me and ask specific questions, but I am not going to individually check to see if you personally are missing any work since that information is easily accessible to you.
