Today we read for 10 minutes.
We then reread the story from yesterday with a hi-liter and a pencil in hand. This time we read it looking for places where the end had been foreshadowed--we hi-lited all of these places. We also kept and eye out for actions and words that revealed the personalities of George and of Lillian (underline these).
When that second read was completed, students used each other to begin thinking out loud about the answers to the questions on the worksheet. Students were encouraged to discuss the possible answers but were instructed to each write his/her own response. In other words, you should talk about the possible answers then separate and write your own responses.
Class time will be given tomorrow to continue getting smarter together except period 7 class as they will be participating in Winter Carnival activities at that time.
Worksheets and logs are due on Monday 2/8.
