Today’s Agenda:
1. Pick up your composition books. 2. Individual Reading Time
Watch for a favorite sentence or phrase -
because it just sounds good,
because it is great writing,
because it's funny,
or whatever makes it stand out to you.
Write it in your composition book under "Word Collector."
Ms . Dorsey's: "He handed me my hall pass and I headed off toward the administration offices. The place where happiness goes to die." p. 66 in The Fourth Stall, Bk. 2
Find your __3__ o'clock partner and discuss your responses to what you read today. (We used have used 1, 2, 4 , 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 already.)
Then Let's listen to more of
The Graveyard BookRecord (under Reading Responses) one question you would like to ask the class about what we read today, or about parts we've already read.
Last time we read to page 238 "and then he faded and was lost to them." Chapter 7, part 1, minute 43:37
Today we read to page 255, Chapter 7, Part 2 .

Word from The Graveyard Book -- glide, page 250 "a sleek insinuating glide"

If You Were Absent:
Read from your choice of books and find a sentence or phrase to copy into your composition book when you get back -- in the World Collector section.
