Homework
Since there were quite a few people missing today, here is what you missed:
We are beginning our literature circles next week. In preparation you need the following:
-a new duotang for tomorrow that you will be using for the program
-start thinking of a novel you would like to read.
You will be in groups of 4-6, reading the same book. I have a good collection from which you can choose. If you'd like to use a book that I don't have, you are welcome to bring in your own (provided that at least three other people will agree to get the book by next week).
We will be practicing the literature circle skills and jobs this week, and then we'll officially begin the program.
