I am going to ask you some questions and then you are going to write the answers in your writing journals. So now that we have heard the summary of the story will you please write about Why people immigrate? Remember to use complete sentences. Skip lines as well. Where was Wai Ming at the beginning of the story? Where was Wai Ming at the end? When did the story take place? What was the sequence of events? What happened beginning, middle, in the end? What did you learn from the story? How would you feel if you were Wai Ming? During this time I will take time to read each one of the answers that the student wrote and help them by prompting them to expand on their thoughts or work on specific writing skills.
