Use Technology to 
Create a Written Response to a Text 

Standards:

RL6.1 - Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text
W6.4 - Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

W6.6 - Use technology including the internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills

I can...

1. create a well written Blog Post about a writing prompt of my choosing. 

Writing Prompt 1:
One conflict in the novel is a man vs. man conflict between Max and his father Kenny Kane. This conflict is resolved in the events of chapter 19 & 20 during the climax. Use evidence from the text to describe in detail how the author develops the conflict throughout the text including the events of the climax. Include any inferences that you may have made about these events, and reflect on how the author resolves this conflict.

Writing Prompt 2:

Identify the mood created during the climax of the text. What tone does the author Rodman Philbrick take toward this part of the novel and how does he develop it. Use evidence from the text to support your thinking. Reflect on the mood & tone during the climax.
