    Week of December 15 Required Reading

    POSTED AT 08:03 AM

    Homework for the week:
    Pages 217 - end
    If you would like to discuss the Afterward, please make that clear when asking your questions or posting a vocabulary word.

    Just like last week, you will be responsible for writing a question or choosing a vocabulary word. You will also still respond to someone else's question. 
     
    For your quiz the week following break(it will be at the end of that week), I will be choosing three of the questions you have suggested on the blog. I will be checking that you have recorded the vocabulary in your vocabulary section of your spiral instead of putting questions on the quiz.

    It's your turn to run the blog! You have had a lot of practice working with questions I have written and with vocabulary I have chosen from the novel. For this week and next week, you will be responsible for writing a question or choosing a vocabulary word. You will also still respond to someone else's question. 
     
    For your quiz next week, I will be choosing three of the questions you have suggested on the blog. I will be checking that you have recorded the vocabulary in your vocabulary section of your spiral instead of putting questions on the quiz.
     
    Happy blogging!
