It is essential that you stay on track with your class! The vocabulary is due Monday. The reading inquiry for Part 1 is due Tuesday. You may want to look for an audio version or an extra copy from a library, or other source of the first 32 pages until you get your assigned book from me. Using post-its is a good tool that will aid you in your inquiry assignments.
The calendar lists assignments and reading schedules, and it is EXPECTED that you will keep pace with your peers. All sophomores are starting the first unit in the text next week, so you will be quite busy during the first marking period. Please plan your schedule accordingly and make time for your studies. I strongly suggest reading your novel during SSR+ this month as it will allow extra time in the school day for reading. Calendar Martian Chronicles
