its

the
way
it
rolls
off

when

or
for
any
reason
you
want.
The
important
thing
is
that

Remember:
1) As

3) Explain

Writing
“because

is
not

enough.

Example:
Pg 23/Para. 3 “Alex grabbed hold of what was left of the backseat. Ahead of him he could see a single triangle of
light, shrinking faster and faster. He could feel the weight of the two walls pressing down on him. The car was no
longer a car but the fist of some hideous monster snatching at the insect that Alex had become.”
I
chose
this
passage
because
it
had
good
description.
It
made
me
feel
like
I
was
in
the
car
getting
compacted
with
Alex.
I
especially
liked
the
part
about
him
being
an
insect
inside
of
a
fist.
I
could
really
visualize
Alex
inside
the
car
getting
squished.
When
you
meet….
1) Tell
your
group
the
page
and
paragraph
numbers
and
wait
for
them
to
find
the
passage.
2) Read
your
passage
with
feeling!
3) Read
what
you
wrote
about
why
you

passage.
