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
