B day students: Here is the assignment for today. You should finish this for homework if you did not already finish. Due Wednesday, along with the work we did during the story (finding the clues to historical fiction and clues to theme).
• Draw a plot mountain and fill it up with events from “The Dog of Pompeii.” You might want to start with the climax of the story and work from there. You should have at least five events for rising action and two events for falling action.
• On page 325, do questions 4, 5, 7, and 8. Write in complete sentences.
• You can next either:
o Do the “Create a Dialogue” assignment at the top of page 327. The dialogue should be between Tito and Bimbo and should be at least a page long (front of a piece of paper). Remember that dialogue in a book or story is very rarely just dialogue; you should have some narrative information, as well.
o OR, continue the story where it leaves off with Tito. Now that he has been taken away by boat, without Bimbo, what will his life be like? What happens next? Note that this is not an alternate ending to the story, but a continuation of Tito’s story. This should be at least a page long.
