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:
๐Ÿ’€  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)

  ๐Ÿ’€  Continue to prepare for creating a map of Bod's graveyard. 
            or 
         To create an article, "Secrets of the Graveyard Revealed,"  describing the characters.
