Today, we...

  • set up the table of contents in our interactive notebooks
  • discussed the short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"
  • took notes on dialogue and how to punctuate it correctly (attached to this post)
  • did a practice quiz on punctuating dialogue

Homework:

  • Write Walter's next day dream.  This is a rough draft to be written in your notebooks.  Approximately 1 - 2 pages.
  • Be sure to connect your story to the original.  Remember, it ends with Walter walking away from the parking garage.
  • Include:
    • pocketa-pocketa sound (if he has his car back)
    • fiddling with dials (if he has his car back)
    • action where Walter is the hero
  • Write in third person
