Plot Update News Feeds Assignment
As you read My Sister’s Keeper, you will keep a running “news feed” of current plot events, with all of the twists and turns in the novel, that seem to be most important in the story. You will list the chapter and then bullet 3-5 significant plot development events per chapter. Your plot event news feeds most likely will contain an action verb. You will be required to meet the following deadlines with your plot news feeds:
First Deadline April 29 Pages 1-115 (140)
Second Deadline May 11 Pages 116 (140) -200 (242)
Since I have found several students copying or paraphrasing plot summaries from Sparknotes.com, I will no longer accept and grade plot news feeds beyond the above deadlines. Instead, I will create questions and reading checks for the rest of the novel. This is a sad reflection on John Carroll, and I apologize to the hardworking students who did their own written work.
*You can set up a chart with chapter and page columns and then bullet the plot events. Keep the wording down, but be specific and use action verbs since you are updating your viewers on how the plot is moving along in the novel.
Example of Plot News Feed:
Chapter Pages
“Anna” 10
Ø Anna, the main protagonist of the novel, reveals that her sister Kate has a rare cancer called acute promyelocytic leukemia and Anna is an allogeneic donor, a perfect sibling match.
