Spend your 3rd period reading (or rereading Stargirl). Find a relatively comfy place in the classroom, avoid distractions from your peer group, and read. As you read the book (or reread the book) jot down a short response in your journal.
Ask:
What is intriguing you about the characters?
What is intriguing you about the plot or setting?
What is stopping you from reading?
What is going on in the narration/POV/voice that either grabs your attention or has NOT grabbed your attention?
To turn in today!
After reading for 20-30 minutes, switch your pace and write in your journal and then complete this question to hand in as class credit:
Find a passage as you read that you feel is well described. Jot down the page number where the passage is found. It should be a passage that as you read a clear picture formed in your head about what was happening. Decipher what is going on here with the writing? Why was it effective? Try to explain why you felt the passage was well written. Be specific, use examples from the book/text to help you define and answer the question. Turn in this response as participation credit for 3rd period.
If you finish early, continue reading or writing in your journal.

On this page, it is describing how the new girl, Stargirl, looks. I feel this passage created an image in my head. I could see her in my head. he weird looking girl that doesn't fit in with any other studnets.
