Say Something - (OFK pp. 213-219)
Create a "Say Something" chart for each page of the assigned reading (The Once and Future King pp. 213-219.
Your entries should look similar to the graphic organizers distributed in class. Remember to:
1. make a prediction
2. ask a question
3. clarify something you misunderstood
4. make a comment
5. make a connection
For number 5, don't just write down "text-to-text." Simply stating what kind of connection you are making carries little meaning. It is the connection itself that is important.
For this assignment, you will turn in 7 sets of the "Say Something" exercise for 21 points.
