Spend 3rd period reading either of the books you have been assigned. You are being graded on your participation during this class time. Students off-task will recieve few or no points. Those that pursue the task will gain full points.
As you read, it is important for you to open your mind. If reading a book a second time, try to find details and enjoy the story, confident in the fact that you know the basic plot, conflicts, setting, themes, and characters. In a case like this, you can now spend your time examining the writing. Always ask yourself: "What is working here in this writing?"
At the end of the period, please respond to what you are reading. You may use one of these prompts or use one of your own:
1. I don't understand...
2. I noticed...
3. I wonder...
4. I was reminded of...
