Paperboy-Reinforcing+Activity

Students will read //Paperboy// and make a chronological list of events from the story. I will then provide a list of events (listed below), out of order, that will be used in constructing a timeline. While students construct their timelines, they will be required to include a sketch underneath each event to illustrate what is going on. They will also need to include the length of each event in terms of hours, days, months, years, etc.

The following events will be use for student timelines:. · Everyone in Cincinnati is talking about the upcoming fight. · Willie signs up for the fight extra list. · Willie sold 100 copies of the paper in one day. · Willie gives the $0.83 to his mother for the family mug. · Dad lets him sell the paper. · The fight happens between Tunney and Dempsy · Willie gets his papers to sell after the fight. · Willie goes back the next day after selling no papers to sell more.
