Topic:  Courage in the Lives of the Characters from When You Reach Me (Summer Reading Project Presentation)

Goal: 

• I can orally present and explain my character analysis. 

Essential questions: 

How do characters in literature demonstrate courage, and what can their actions teach us about courage in our own lives?

Standards: 

• RL.7.3: Analyze how particular elements of a story interact (e.g., how setting shapes the characters or plot).

• RL.7.6: Analyze how an author develops and contrasts the points of view of different characters or narrators in a text.

• SL.7.4: Present claims and findings, emphasizing salient points in a focused, coherent manner with pertinent descriptions, facts, details, and examples.

• SL.7.6: Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks, demonstrating command of formal English when indicated or appropriate.

Students will take turns to present their summer reading oral project.
