THE SWEETEST FIG
We are going to practice synthesis as we read today. I am going to read
The Sweetest Fig a loud to you and as we discuss the book we will be
able to see synthesis at work. We will see how our thoughts change as
we think about the text. As we apply our schema and we make
connections new things will become aware to us in the text.
We also are going to look for evidence in the book about our characters.
We will be making a chart with the text evidence and our inferences.
KERNEL ESSAY
TODAY WE ARE GOING TO USE OUR QUICK LIST FROM
YESTERDAY TO SELECT A MOMENT OR MEMORY THAT
YOU WOULDN’T MIND EVERYONE HEARING ABOUT.
• NUMBER YOUR PAPERS ONE THROUGH 5 SKIPPING
LINES.
• THINK ABOUT THE MOMENT YOU CHOSE.
• I’M GOING TO ASK YOU FIVE QUESTIONS ABOUT
THAT MOMENT, ONE AT A TIME.
• ANSWER EACH QUESTION ABOUT THAT MOMENT.
