AC Reading- most students completed the poem they were writing today; a few had to take it home to finish it. It is due Tuesday. Students will begin reading the novel The Young Man and the Sea this week. Students will keep a notebook for vocabulary and questions; students will read the novel in class. This book will not take long to read; we are going to read The Old Man and the Sea next. If you have a copy of this book at home, I would appreciate it if you would bring it to school to read.
Reading-students completed the poem that was started last week. Some had to take it home and finish it for homework. On Tuesday, we will start the vocabulary work for the novel we will read next, The Young Man and the Sea. On Wed., we will begin the novel. There will be questions to answer every chapter or so, and these will be kept in the student’s folders in the classroom. This novel study will include a study of figurative language, which is very prevalent in this book.
HW: Students should read for 20 minutes every night, at least!
