Reading:

You should have read approximately to chapter 9 so far. If you have read more, amazing! If you are not there yet, it’s ok…you can make it up this week with extra reading. This weeks goal is to read to chapter 15. 30 minutes of reading a day is the MINIMUM you should be doing. Be sure to answer your comprehension packet questions along the way. A kind reminder, you will be writing a compare and contrast paper on the book and the movie. As you read, annotations (done on separate paper) will REALLY help you complete that faster than if you don’t. Just a few things from each chapter will be extremely beneficial!
