You will be writing a RACE response in your ELA Journal about a short story called “The Scribe” by Kristen Hunter. Today your only focus, though, is on the EEEEE. Explain and Elaborate why the Aha moment described is an Aha Moment, how it affects the characters, and what they do because of that realization.

The story is on page 655 of your big orange literature book.

Hatchet Chapter 12 (Character traits and Aha Moments)
  1. Prompt: What character traits help describe Brian at this point in the novel and what evidence proves this? 
  2. Find at least ONE passage/quote in each chapter that shows Brian's attitude and reveals a character trait. Try to think about how he is acting OVERALL.
  3. Put the sticky note in and LABEL what character trait or attitude is reveals about Brian.
  4. Celebrate your success! You're annotating!



Please fill out the "Aha Moments" Chart in your ELA Journal. It asks for two pieces of evidence from Chapter 10 of contrasts and contradictions and why they might be important points in the story. The evidence is already there. Your job today is practicing the explanation.
