What support do you need as you read?

Finish Reading Chapter 1

Consider:

What elements of exposition do you see?

What events are part of the rising action?

What does Jaja want? What does Papa want? What does Kambili want? Mama?

Chapter Notes

In small groups, work on the chapter notes for Ch. 1.

These go in your notebook and CAN be used on your quiz.

• Come up with a title for the chapter.
• Describe the setting(s).
• Name the characters.
• Look up at least 3 words (SKIP THIS TIME)
• Write a summary
• Draw a picture or symbol
• Write a reflection

WHY?

The biggest struggle you may have a reader is remembering the plot points, characters, other important details. By taking notes in this manner, you remember better and can find the information faster!

Homework

The quiz will be 1 question with a paragraph response.

Each class will have a DIFFERENT question.

There can be more than one antagonist. The antagonist can be a person, a group of people, a force (like nature), or the protagonist herself.

Examples of Protagonists and Antagonists

The foil is a character whose purpose is to serve as a contrast to
