Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Name:__________________________________________ Date: ______________________ #4 UNIT 2:I’m an excellent writer, I always tell the details… Competence: I am able to find and provide basic information in a brochure. Lesson Objective:I am able to write and understand a descriptive paragraph. READING: Novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.When we were children, Hassan and I used to climb the poplar trees in the driveway o f the father’s house and annoy the neighbors by reflecting sunlight into their homes with a shard of mirror. We would sit across from each other on a pair of high branches, our naked feet dangling, our trouser pockets filled with dried mulberries and walnuts. We took turns with the mirror as we ate mulberries, pelted each other with them, giggling, laughing. I can still see Hassan up on that tree, sunlight flickering through the leaves on his almost perfectly round face, a face like a Chinese doll chiseled from hardwood: his flat, broad nose and slanting, narrow eyes like bamboo leaves, eyes that looked, depending on the light, gold, green, even sapphire. I can still see his tiny low-set ears and that pointed stub of a chin, a meaty appendage that looked like it was added as a mere afterthought. And the cleft lip, just off mid-line, where the Chinese doll maker’s instrument may have slipped, or perhaps he had simply grown tired and careless. (Exercise adapted from Greig, N. 2005. Playwriting: A Practical Guide. Great Britain: Routledge.. 44.) Exercise: While you are reading, look for key words or expressions and write them down. For the time being, do not focus too much on the characters or the story, simply write down the words and expressions that catch your eye. It does not matter is certain words or expressions occur more than once, make sure you write them down each time. Words: Look for the meaning of each new word: ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________Expressions: ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________

that they can refer to them as needed. Word Banks can be kept in journals or placed on index cards tobe used as flash cards. The index cards can also be placed on rings for organizational
purposes. Students should be expected to use the words in their writing and their speaking.
