Skill: Identifying Plot
Prompt: Identify an internal and external conflict (problem) a character is experiencing in Tuck Everlasting.
*Note: Your examples of internal and external conflict do not have to be from the same character. You could choose one character to describe an internal conflict they are facing, and a different character to describe an external conflict. These conflicts can be anywhere in the book that we've read so far.Try your best to explain the examples of conflict. Remember, your notebook is practice and you will not be penalized for being incorrect. You will only be penalized if you do not try. If you cannot find an example of either internal or external conflict, then explain that you could not find an example and provide the definition for the term you could not find an example for (for example, if I could not find any examples of external conflict in Tuck then I would say "I looked and cannot find an example of external conflict. However I know external conflict is…. *definition of external conflict*").

- in your Write About Reading section of your notebook:
Skill: Making Connections and Personification
Book: Tuck Everlasting
Skill: Making Connections
Good readers will make connections to what they are reading to their own lives. In this story, a young girl named Winnie is frustrated because her family won’t leave her alone. She feels like she is being looked at all the time. Do you or have you ever felt this way? Explain your connection to Winnie.
Skill: Personification
Identify one example of personification on pg. 14 or 21 and describe how the use of personification in that example helps the reader visualize.This is practice, so as long as you try, you won't lose points. If you honestly cannot find any examples, write in your notebook, "I have looked and cannot find any examples but I know that personification is…" and explain personification. The only way to lose points on this assignment is if you do not respond to the question at all.
