RESPONSE DIRECTIONS The reading response for this week is a summary of one chapter.
Write a full and complete paragraph that tells the reader about one chapter in your book, as
if it were a personal narrative. Write an opening sentence that grabs the reader’s attention.
Make sure the reader knows the setting, and something specific about the character
(thoughts, appearance, actions, emotions). Indicate the Incident/conflict that the character
must deal with in the chosen chapter. Explain the sequence of events that follow the
Incident (this is the Response), and end with a closing sentence that is the Reflection of
what the character went through, learned, or how the character has changed. This is not
about the whole book! Your response should be focused on one chapter only-think like the
writer you have been as we have gone through the Personal Narrative writing process.
Paragraph includes:
Introduction Sentence
Setting and Character information
Incident/Conflict
Sequence of Events (Response to Incident-in other words what the character does about the Incident)
Reflection ending, to show growth, learning, or change in the character.
