10/19

Today we finished up Nightjohn as we read it aloud with a partner in class.  As a team we stopped at page 89 and answered the question, "How does this scene relate to Mammy's worries about Sarny learning ot read in chp 4?"

At the end of chapter 6 we paused to discuss the chapter and any images that are lasting and to predict.

After reading the last chapter we discussed why it was entitled "Words".  We discussed not only the meaning of the title but also why Paulsen chose to entitle this chapter and none of the others.

HW was to continue reading in IR books toward the goal of 150 minutes by next Thursday and also to write a long write in your writers notebooks ANSWERING THE QUESTION--HOW DID READING THE BOOK NIGHTJOHN AFFECT YOU?  HOW ARE YOU CHANGED AS A RESULT OF READING THIS BOOK?
