English 11: How many pages have you read?

You should have completed 115 pages by today if you are just reading at school and many more pages if you are aiming for a B or an A in the class. As soon as you finish a book, ask for a response form. Fill it out in great detail to show what you loved about the book's ideas, the author's style or the attitude toward its topic.


Today: If you need more time to finish the paragraph, you will have 30 minutes. All paragraphs are due today.

Read chapter 2: A lot goes wrong in this chapter. Post-it note all the things that go wrong and post-it note all the reasons for these mishaps. Arrive with at least 8 quotations post-it noted.

Be ready to discuss chapter 2 on Thursday.

Spartan Day Thursday. Dress in your house colours. Bring money to support the Cops for Cancer initiative. Twoonies will be collected at the door but you may bring more money if you want to contribute to teacher and student head-shaves.
