Augmenting Your Vocabulary and Visualization of KR: October 17, 2018

Focus: How do we augment our reading skills with vocabulary and visualization?

1. Warming up with a short quiz on Kite Runner vocabulary, Words 1-10

2. Making a quick independent reading schedule to make sure you're done with your independent reading book by December 3

1. How many pages do you have left in your book?
2. Divide that number by 6.
3. That gives you how many pages per week you need read to finish on time.
4. Write this down in your student calendar.

3. Viewing the film adaptation of The Kite Runner

HW for next week:

1. For TUESDAY: Read Chapters 21, 22, and 23. THIS IS A 50-PAGE ASSIGNMENT, SO BE SURE TO START IT OVER THE LONG WEEKEND. If you have fallen behind in your reading and/or annotations, use the long weekend to catch up. If you're a leader in one of the last two fishbowls, consider using the long weekend to finish the book entirely.

2. For THURSDAY: Finish reading and annotating The Kite Runner.

3. For FRIDAY: Complete the two IXL lessons on Semicolons, Colons, and Commas (Level J recommended).

4. By OCT 31: If you wish to revise your summary-response essay, you need to conference with me before the end of October. I'm available 1st, 3rd, and after school.
