You will write a poem that shows the contrast between Ling at the beginning of the novel (as a “little flower”) and at the end of the novel (as an “angry tiger”).

Step 1. Choose chapters from the novel that represent Ling as a “little flower” and an “angry tiger.” 

Step 2. Choose a chapter from the novel and search for sensory details and figurative language that give the feeling of Ling as both a “little flower” and an “angry tiger.” 

Step 3. Rearrange the sections of text that you chose to create a two-column, compare/contrast poem.

Instead of taking a boring quiz on run-on sentences, you will prove your understanding of what a run-on sentence is and how to fix it by creating an informational storyboard. You can be as creative as you want with your storyboard; you could depict a rap, a play, a comic strip, a presentation style, or anything else your mind dreams up!

The storyboard explains the difference between a run-on sentence and a complete sentence.
Run-on sentence: Two complete thoughts smushed together without proper punctuation
Complete sentence: A complete thought separated from another complete thought by a comma + conjunction, semicolon, or period
Storyboard explains the three ways to fix a run-on sentence: comma + conjunction, semicolon, period
