Activity #1
Chapter 3 of HP & the C.O.S.
Written Response Quiz
Directions:
Read each question and answer in a complete sentence. YOU MUST ANSWER IN A FULLY DEVELOPED COMPLETE SENTENCE, which includes using proper nouns, words from the question, and specific details. If you do not answer in a complete sentence you will not be able to earn full credit. Sixth grade standards require you to write in fully developed complete sentences, and that will be the expectation on all of your quizzes.
For this reason we will take the time, especially during these first few quizzes, to learn exactly how we should respond to these types of questions.
***For the Quiz you must go to google classroom. We will be going through this quiz nice & slowly, and one question at a time.
Activity #2
The 45/60 Second Summary Challenge
Directions:
In this challenge you will work with the members of your house to discuss the events of the chapter and write a summary. If you do not have enough people to make a full group, your teacher might combine 2 houses for this activity. You will have 15 minutes to write. Your summaries can be exactly the same, or you can write them in your own words. Each house will then choose a representative to read their summary out loud. The readers have 60 seconds to read their summary out loud. The teachers will act as the impartial judges and award points for the best summaries. Your summary will be written on the page right next to your notes.
***Notes go on the left, summaries go on the right.***
Your summaries should include:
- the main idea (think mood/big idea)
- the most important details from the chapter
- reflection (Your own thoughts about the events of the chapter)
As you are working your teachers will come around to provide you with support. Be prepared to let them help you, especially in these first few chapters. As you get better you won't need as much help. Your teachers might ask you questions like:
- What does your summary need to start with?
- Have you written the main idea?
- What did you write for your main idea?
- What details are you including?
- Why are those details important?
- Have you used any transitional words to connect your thoughts and sentences?
- Are there any places where you should use transitional words or phrases.
- What are your thoughts on the events of the chapter? (reflection)
- What do you think about what you read?
- How do these events show that Harry is a literary hero?
- Capitals, Periods, Grammar, & Sentence Structure
YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO FOLOW THE RULES OF WRITING.
- Indent the first sentence
- All other lines are lined up on the margin line
- Words go on the line
- Put spaces between your words
- Proper capitalization & Punctuation
- Spelling matters (You should not be spelling words from the book incorrectly, especially character's names)
- Neatness
How will I earn points for my Hogwarts House?
Points are at the discretion of the judge but here is an approximation of how the points might work out.
1st Place = 30 pts
2nd Place = 20 pts
3rd Place = 10 pts
4th Place = 5 pts
As we get farther into the unit, the point values will go up.
How will I be individually evaluated?
Your summaries will regularly be written in your notebook as practice, and handed in as a classwork grade. However, three times throughout the unit your summaries will be handed in digitally (in google classroom) so we can formally assess your writing. Your summaries for chapter 5, 10, & 15 will be handed in as quiz grades.
