A Lesson Before Dying Writing Journal Name: ___________________________________ Hour:______________  Throughout this novel, you will be asked to read and react in writing everyday! This novel is one that requires you to read, reflect, react, and then respond. One of the requirements will be to respond to the reading in ONE PAGE of your journal everyday. At the beginning of each hour, while you are working on the daily warm-up, you will be asked to have your journal out so we can check it for completion in which you will earn 5 points every day if complete and rules are followed. If you would like for us to keep your journal, we can over night, but you will still have to write and respond on a separate sheet and then ADD it to your journal the next day. Aspects to journal on: vocabulary words: we won’t give you an actual list, but any word / words that you want to expand on, feel free to write it down, look up the definition, and then react to it. conflicts: Life is about consequences, so how do the characters react? “bucket list”: on the following page, you wrote down an entire list of things that you want to do before you die. Just like Jefferson, react and respond to it. daily considerations: Feel free to respond to the daily questions, but you are not limited to them – They are there to help you if you’re stuck. changes in history: Thank Goodness times have changed! personal reaction: Feel free to react to the characters / situations / etc. predictions: Maybe you see a pattern and want to respond and predict what will happen next. important quotes: Maybe Gaines grabs you with his writing style and you just have to react. literary terms: Refer to the purple handout in your binder for a list of literary terms. text-to-_______ connections: Respond to those connections that you see. AS LONG AS YOU ARE INTERACTING TO THE NOVEL – YOU’RE OKAY! Move away from plot summary (what happens in the novel) and move toward deep thinking. Frequently Asked Qu
