Announcements and Reminders:

Targets for Today:
I can read for enjoyment, and participate in discussions about literature.
I can share in a small group the things in our reading that surprise or interest me, and I can make predictions based on what has already happened in a story.
I can conduct research online to find out information about books and stories.

Today’s Agenda:
1. Read your own book, or catch up on your group book.
Where are your groups in your books?
Legend:
For today, discuss as a group, then write in your composition book to answer the question: How is Marie Lu's writing style different in the chapters from Day's perspective from the chapters in June's perspective?
Storyteller's Daughter
While the prologue announces that Shahrazad will be telling her own story for the first time, why do you think the author chose to narrate the rest of the novel in the third person? Do you think this point of view is effective in getting to know Shahrazad? Why or why not?
Small groups -- decide how much more you will read today -- in about 20 minutes.
Read.
Assignment for your group book:
Legend: Look up and prepare to report about other dystopian books.
(Take notes in your composition books.)
The Storyteller's Daughter: Find and prepare to tell a brief story.

Decide as a group how much you will read for the next section.
Because this book is about storytelling, find a story you could tell in class -- no more than 5 minutes long. Practice. You may read it, but be so familiar with it that you can read it with expression and feeling, and be able to make eye contact during the telling.
Be prepared to present when you are called on either on December 12 or 14.
