After taking the Vocabulary Test, we had time to work on our triple entry journals that are due today.
Many of you are struggling with finding a golden line.
Here is an example from Miles. His book is titled The Prince.
"I haven't saved anything. All a soldier can do is buy time. I haven't saved Hadley. You have to do that. God help you if you don't" (286). -Colonel Falkenburg
Miles notices the humility in this character. This quote STANDS OUT to him (like it is naturally high-lighted or golden). He can use this quote to reflect on a big idea and wonder about the nature of heroism and glory. He can use it to make a prediction about what is going to happen in the text. Or it might make him notice something about what has happened earlier in the story and see it in a new light.
For full credit, you need to have your partner complete the THIRD COLUMN of your journal. He/she should write questions and opinions about the summary and the golden line and any answers he or she might have to the journal author's questions. Then the partner signs his/her comments and passes it back. Then it is turned in to me.
