Prompt (1 pt.)

Your Response (5 pts.)

Your response must be half the page, margin to margin, without skipping lines. Responding to the prompt is optional, but responding to the selection is not. If you don’t want to respond to the prompt, write a sentence telling me so and then explore a thought, impression, connection, or question you are having about what you are reading. Please don’t just give me a plot summary, though. Share your specific reaction to what is happening in your piece. You can also respond to earlier prompts if you’d like.

Partners' Initialed Response (2 pts. each)

You need to have at least 2 three line minimum, margin to margin, initialed school appropriate responses to your writing. Please make sure you skip lines between responses. After that, your dialogue can go wherever your responses take you. However, all responses, including yours, must be initialed after your first response.
