Lesson 58

Today, students did an in-class writing assignment - This puts us in a good position for next week's conferences, and is a great way to get back into the text.

Any student who missed today's class is expected to attend tutorial as soon as they are next in the building.

Lesson 57

 We reviewed the previous chapter, "Magic Words," and discussed what belongs in a general chapter summary. We also thought about a variety of questions:

• What are some of the ways that the group protects themselves at camp? (37)
• What do we learn about Wab's role in the group and the culture of the crew? (37)
• Do you like Rose? Who would you like to know more about in this group?
• What is the significance of Minerva teaching the group "language"? Why is Frenchie so upset that Rose is learning it before he is?
• Frenchie has a nightmare about his brother being taken away. Which is worse, having nightmares, or not being able to dream at all? Explain your opinion.

 We read the next chapter, titled "Haunted in the Bush," and students took point-form notes for the chapter during the last 20+ minutes of the block.

ANY STUDENT WHO MISSED TODAY'S CLASS MUST CATCH UP ON THE READING BEFORE THEIR NEXT ENGLISH BLOCK -   This may mean ensuring they  have access to a text outside of school, or coming to tutorial on the first day back after the break.
