NOVEMBER 29

HOMEROOM: PE class. Also, I started to read a short Christmas Novel to the students.

READING: Maniac Magee: Look for examples of similes, metaphors and personifications and record these on your paper. Look on pages 1-13.

Tangerine: Read up to the agreed amount we stated in class. Rotation 1 - page 100; Rotation 2 - page 60.   With post-its begin to color code and mark four focuses as you read: 1. What realities mom does not see; 2. Relationships between whom and descriptions; 3. Fears the boys have; 4. What rules or defiant behaviors does Eric enact.

Also, complete the vocabulary sheet, handed out during our meeting.
