INVITATION TO NOTICE (ITN):

Invitation to Notice is when I put up an example. I want you to get out your journals and write down what it is you notice about the topic I want you to learn.

This is a great way to learn because instead of me telling YOU the rules, you figure it out for yourself and tell ME what the rules are.

The following slide is going to have examples I have taken from The House of Scorpion by Nancy Farmer. Pay attention to the commas and the construction of the sentence. Be sure to write your observations in your journal.

ALSO, when we start talking about your observations, be sure to also write some of the good observations of your peers because they have some good things to say!
