The Silver Kiss by Annette Klause
Date 10/1 Chapter 1 Pg. 1-12 "Alone"
Zoe’s Mom may be dying from cancer, her father has become distant, her best
friend is moving. She’s alone, frustrated, hurt, and angry. Her friends don’t
know how to deal with her, she isn’t allowed to spend time with her mother. She
sits in the park at night, sees a boy whose beauty breaks through her defenses
and she cries.
The tone is lonely and sad. Death or abandonment seem to be
developing themes.
Author’s language is very descriptive. - The parts are 1) heading, 2) plot summary, 3) theme/tone statement, 4) personal observation.
- Students read chapter 2 and wrote log in class. Chapter 3 + log for homework.
- Chapter 2 and 3 will be for a minor grade. However, every two chapters thereafter will be for a major grade.
