Reading and Writing Assignment for 12/11

Reading Assignment: Finish reading The Big Wave

 

Writing Assignment: I have attached three pictures. They are the same ones we discussed in class.  I did not attach the fourth because you have it on your book.

 

Please pick one and write a few sentences explaining why the picture you chose makes the best cover for the book The Big Wave. Keep in mind what other people said. Elvira, for instance,  liked the movie poster because it was so vivid and full of feeling. Cindy preferred the current cover because it included all the key elements of the book, the two boys, the wave, and the volcano.  Enya liked the contrast between the huge wave and the little people in the Hokusai painting (Cover 3). You might agree or disagree.  Either way thinking about how others responded will help you explain your own response both to yourself and to others.
