Reading - Q1 Week 4 Day 4

Today we discussed the last signpost for fiction reading: Memory Moments.

When the author interrupts the action to tell you about a memory, STOP and ask yourself:

Why might this memory be important?

We looked at excerpts from Hope Was Here and applied the memory moment anchor question to those. The novel is one where a young girl is being once again forced to leave a place she had called home. She and her aunt are getting in the car to leave and the first two excerpts are memories Hope has before they leave town. The last one, is from a point where they are driving to their next home. Mark where you see a memory moment and apply the question.

We also worked on the second worksheet to practice identifying Point of View.
