Illustration and Summary Project

The "gist" of something is the main idea.  You do not need to remember all
of the details in order to get the "gist" of a selection. After reading the
section you want to illustrate, write a sentence (or two) of no more than
twenty words that captures the gist of the selection.

 

Pick a section of the book and illustrate it.
Write a short paragraph that
 gives you the "gist" of the story or expands
the story through text-to-text,
text-to-self, or text-to-world (Mosaic of Thought).
 If your book is listed below,
you may do the activity for that book.

Diary of a Worm-  Illustrate Worm buying the diary that he used in the story.
How I Became a Pirate-  Illustrate why you would not want to become a pirate.
The Dot-  Illustrate yourself as Vashti in your favorite part of the story.
I Love Saturdays y domingos- Illustrate something that you love to do with your grandparents.
