FOURTH PERIOD BQ REVISIONS

SECOND PERIOD BQ REVISIONS

FIRST PERIOD BQ REVISIONS

BQ REVISION DIRECTIONS



Find your class on the side panel and do the following:

Format:
If you FAILED (less than a 70): you will take what you’ve already done, copy and paste it, tell me which BQ it is, and edit/revise it.

  1. Write your first or last name at the top of the post
  2. Paste your original post with the title of the BQ that you are revising.
    Ex. BQ 2 - The Protagonist (underneath this, you copy and paste your first response)
  3. Skip a line.
  4. Identify your revision
    Ex. BQ 2 - The Protagonist Revision
    You must write Revision so I am able to identify your revision situation.
  5. Write your revision. 
If you made a ZERO (you didn’t turn it in): you will recreate the post completely. State which BQ you are redoing. Then, you will answer it in it’s entirety.
  1. Write your first and last name.
  2. Find the directions for the BQ you are revising from the side panel. Make sure you follow every direction (with the exception of commenting on a peer's response).
  3. Write your first or last name at the top of the post
  4. State which BQ you are writing
    Ex. BQ 2 - The Protagonist (FIRST TIME)
    You must write (FIRST TIME) so I am able to identify your revision situation.
  5. Answer the prompt.

Note:
  • All of your revisions will be in ONE long comment - do not post separate comments for separate revisions.
  • I start grading from a 70 - not 100 - so please make sure to edit carefully. 
  • I do NOT need to see your comments on your peers' responses (I'm only grading your revision - I'm not taking comments into consideration).

Due: Wednesday February 20th by midnight

Fourth Period - BQ6: Reflection

On your rationale handout, you made a prediction. Your assignment is to answer one of the following: How has the novel deviated from your prediction? Or, how has your novel followed your prediction?   
Then, list the two McKee quotes you will be using for your poster presentation.

Format

First and Last Name

Original prediction

How your prediction changed or stayed (relatively) the same – in detail!

“Quote #1”
“Quote #2”

Note:
  • You do NOT have to comment on a peer’s post this time! (:
  • If you ended up changing your book in the beginning of the project, you will not be writing about your prediction. Instead, you will write what surprised you. How did your ideas of the characters, plot, and other elements change as the story progressed? You still have to include two McKee quotes in your post.
Due: Wednesday February 13 by midnight.

Fourth Period - BQ4: Memorable Moment

Prompt: For this post, I want you to think of the greatest moment of impact in your novel and tell us about it. It could be a moment of conflict, of surprise, or of joy in your novel. You could also think about a part of the novel that meant something to you personally.  Your post could talk about anything from a car chase that made your heart race to a moment of confrontation between two people that made you angry to a great part of a love story. Write about anything that made you think – that made you feel - more deeply than any other moment. Get creative!

Directions:
  • Describe the moment (in context – we need some kind of scene to visualize) that affected you most.
  • Write a quote from that moment that captures the significance of the moment.
  • Tell us why you chose this – why it had the greatest impact for you.
  • Comment in any (respectful) way you’d like (:

Due: Wed. February 6th by midnight
