Comma Review

Writing Groups tasks:

a. Share tanka poems

b. comma rule group activity (in shared folder)

We will be sharing our sentences on Friday and also discussing the end of the book. For homework, I would like you come prepared with three discussion questions over book three. Please have one of each type of question:

• Right there question:  the answer is right in the text. ex: what happens to Grampa Chook?

• Pulling it together question:  the answer is in the text, but the reader has to pull it together from different parts of the text. ex: what are some important lessons that Peekay has learned through his relationship with Doc?

• Author and me question:  the answer is not in the text.  The reader must use the information provided in the text and his or her own knowledge/interpretation to figure out the answer.ex: Why do you think the author never tells us the names of Peekay’s mother or grandfather?For that matter, why don’t we ever learn Peekay’s real name?
