The Swallow and the Pumpkinseed by Elisa Oh and Don’t Count Your Chickens by Diana Conway
These directions seem very clear to me. If you’ve read the assignment, you shouldn’t have trouble.
* Explain what you think the authors want readers to learn from the younger brothers in the stories. (1 sentence giving the title, author, and your overall main idea.)
* Tell how the plot events and the authors’ use of language and literary devices support your ideas.
(3 or 4 sentences that explain why you think your main idea in sentence 1 is correct. Include specific actions and dialogue from the story.)
* End your paragraph with a sentence that restates the lesson or values that the characters in the stories convey to readers. (1 sentence, following this obvious direction.)
