NOTICING A DETAIL OTHERS MAY PASS BY

Be a wide-awake reader.  Notice and copy down a detail from the reading that others might just pass by.  Put a post-it there.   Then write some thoughts about what you notice.  Use the prompts to guide your thinking. Write from your point of view, not the character’s.

******    Write at least 2 sentences for each.    ******
