Hi Adele,
This material is great. Thank you for sharing.
One question - do you give them all these papers at once so they see what
you want them to do on their own neighborhood or do they come up with this?

Subject: teaching descriptive writing
Using a passage of Malamud's description of George's neighborhood in A
Summer's Reading as a springboard, I am teaching my 11th grade 5 pointers to
outline and write a descriptive passage. Since they didn't understand my
first explanation of outlining, I have designed these (yet unpiloted)
materials to teach them outlining backwards first (from the text to the
outline) so they can see the correlation, and then, will have them write an
outline for their neighborhood and use it to wrote their composition (even
though they protest...."But will we get a grade for the outline on the
bagrut"???? GGggggrrrrr)
Anyway - since I could not find exactly what I wanted I figured it would be
easier to just write it myself, and I did. Feel free to cannibalize,
plagiarize, shorten, whatever you want. No copyright infringements here
(just familial loyalties, maybe;-)
