RAC Lesson

Last class, I asked you to write about the Again and Again example from the story "Charles" by Shirley Jackson. You had sentence frames and filled in the blanks. What I want you to notice is that those two sentences followed the RACE strategy, but only RAC. 

First things, first: Go back to those sentences in your ELA Journal and highlight them in the correct colors. 

Every C sentence has THREE parts.

Sticky Note Investigation: What character traits describe Brian's attitude at this point in the novel and what evidence proves this?

1. Prompt: What character traits describe Brian's attitude at this point in the novel and what evidence proves this? 
2. Find at least one passage in every chapter (we've read FOUR chapters so far, and you've already labeled a bunch!) You probably have this done already.
3. Put the sticky note in and LABEL what character trait or attitude is reveals about Brian.

IN YOUR ELA JOURNAL:

Copy and paste the work for today from my model into your own ELA Journal.

Need a list of character traits? TRY THIS ONE! It's very long, but has some really great words.
