Today's Learning Objective
Students will determine the author's purpose and cite specific evidence from the text used to develop this purpose. RL.10.1, RL.10.2

Bell Work: **Unscrambling to Imitate**
The unscrambling of sentence parts helps you to see how those parts are connected within the model sentence. As a result, you will glimpse the mind of an author composing a sentence so you can go through a similar process when you compose sentences.


 * Directions:** On a sheet of paper, unscramble the sentence parts to imitate the model. Then write your own imitation of the model.

1. MODEL: Dumpster diving is outdoor work, often surprisingly pleasant. Lars Eighner, "On Dumpster Diving"

a. sometimes quite costly b. is a recreational activity c. mall strolling

2. MODEL: Near the cab, idling in front of the mortuary, was a huge Oldsmobile. Stephen King, //Hearts in Atlantis//

a. was a skittering gecko b. behind the pool c. zigzagging in back of the cabana
