Vacation Reading Goals

As a group, set a challenging but realistic vacation reading goal for yourselves over the next three weeks. You still have to take notes while you read, keep in mind. I must approve your reading goal in class.




We will assess your reading (summative) our first day back in class in 2016.

For Friday

You should be making progress now and be at least 100 pages into your author study book. You should read around another 50 pages for Friday.

Weekend Reading

Same as last class, if you continue to keep reading the same book, complete another 50 pages by Wednesday. Be sure to annotate, as that is how I will be assessing your reading.

Donations from Hamlet-a-thon

Please bring in your donations to class Friday. I'll collect them then.

Homework This Week

For next class read the first fifty pages of your chosen author study book.. Be sure to keep post-its to help you order your thinking.

Diction Term List

In addition to the four terms we used today (familiar, informal, formal, ceremonial), we'll be referring back to this list for the rest of the year.
