Today, Robin took her Unit 3 vocabulary test and earned a 95%. Then we switched our focus to the author of our new novel, "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult. We watched video interviews with the author, a primary source, to learn about her writing process and standards. Robin learned that Picoult has chosen to be seen as a "commercial writer" instead of as a "literary writer," after a comparison and contrast of both roles. She also learned her biography and opinions about "book to film" changes.
