Ok so I have a question on the reading log. So when you have to do the part "The Book says...." what do you do if its not a certain quote you want to talk about, if its something a character did or if you want to comment on a whole page, can you just sum it up?
As far as 'what the book says,' you can skip certain passages by using an ellipsis (...) and then pick up with an important passage later in the page. Your 'what I say' portion should explain, react, or comment on the passage you have chosen. Look at the example in the yellow packet for guidelines. Let me know if you still have questions.
ReplyDeleteUpon further review, I don't think I answered Bernie's question. Let me try again....You can just "sum up" a character's actions, but be sure that you are being specific about what the character did or didn't do that you agree or disagree with. I hope that makes more sense.
ReplyDeleteSo, in other words, if you aren't going to directly quote....be specific. Right?
ReplyDeleteWell put, Jill! You do need to be VERY specific if you aren't going to quote word-for-word.
