December 20th! (AND ASSIGNMENT FOR BREAK)

Today you took your mid-term exam and completed a short self-evaluation.

Here is your assignment over break:
Read Chains through page 67 (up through Chapter 10).  Anderson is a highly descriptive author.  She uses specific details to evoke her readers' 5 senses.  You must highlight/put a sticky note on two scenes you found personally engaging because of the rich description.


EXTRA CREDIT: Email me over break at ehle@shrineschools.com by  January 2nd.  In the email include page #'s for one of the scenes you highlighted.  Include a summary, in your own words, of the scene and specific sentences in the scene that include excellent description. Explain why you were moved by the scene.  What senses did it evoke?
