Targets for Today:
Read, of course! I can read for enjoyment, and participate in discussions about literature. |
Today’s Agenda:
Don't forget to bring your composition book to leave in class. 1. Be prepared with a book of your choice for individual reading time. Hand in your disclosure signatures if you brought them back. Receive a copy of the disclosure to keep. 2. Read your choice of books. 3. Pair-Share Discussion -- Tell a partner (the closest birthday to your own) about the book you were just reading. What is the major conflict? Who is the protagonist? Who is the antagonist? 4. Listen to/Read along with The Rithmatist from page 27 - top of the page. 23:47 to 1:00:10 Top of page 49 "Radius of a circle." Discussion: (by height) So far, what are the conflicts in The Rithmatist ? Who do you think are protagonists, and who are antagonists? Covers for The Rithmatist     
Bowler hat:  Chalklings:   |
If You Were Absent:
See above. You could get caught up with The Rithmatist during Cave Time or after school. |
Vocabulary:
steampunk: a genre of science fiction that has a historical setting and typically features steam-powered machinery rather than advanced technology. "If you like steampunk, this is a great book for you" conflict = the problem
protagonist = the main character or "good guy" in the story
antagonist = the "bad guy" in the story, the person or force that is keeping the protagonist from getting what he or she wants
