English 9, Monday, September 13

A large number of you are meeting our reading goals of one page per minute. Well done! Keep reading.
When you finish a book, fill in a response form.

Today, we reviewed our 8 vocabulary words. Test on Friday. Study. Know the part of speech, the definition, the synonyms, and be able to use the word in a sentence.

Tonight, finish reading the story, "The Father". Be sure to post-it one point per page (at least). Post-it note parts of the story that you feel reveal the most about the father.

Be prepared to make inferences based on your choices during class tomorrow.

Practice the reading strategy: Think Aloud. When you read make predictions, make inferences, make connections, test out your theories about a character and his/her motivations.
