Announcements and Reminders:                           Happy October and Happy Halloween! This is a drawing of a real cemetery in London.  Bring treats today, if you would like.

Targets for Today: I  can read for enjoyment, and participate in discussions about literature.   I can notice and appreciate the choices of words, phrases, and sentences made by an author.   I can consider the setting of a story, and how it affects the story.

Today’s  Agenda: 💀  Collect favorite phrases, sentences, words.  Watch for interesting words, phrases, and sentences. Examples --  A favorite part:  "Now he could see the Milky Way, see it as he had never seen it before, a glimmering shroud across the arch of the sky" (95). Another:  "His guardian [Silas] looked almost heartbroken then, and Bod found himself scared, like a child who has woken a sleeping panther" (164).   This reminds me that one of Mowgli's guardians in The Jungle Book was a panther! A favorite word:  "fetched up"    Meaning: informal to arrive (at) or end up (in)   💀  Continue to prepare for creating a map of Bod's graveyard.    💀 The Graveyard Book -- Begin at page 199.Chapter 6   43:27  to page 238, page break  42:10   Chapter 7   Places to put on your map for The Graveyard Book
