- First, we went over our vocabulary words. Expect a quiz on Monday over words 6-10 or 6-15 if you’re Honors.
- Free read time. Remember, you have to read ten books on your own by June!
- Annotation of Mockingbird page 1. We read and annotated the first page of Mockingbird to predict what it will be about. Here is the handout: Close Reading Exercise #1 (Mockingbird) or Close Reading Exercise #1 (Watchman).
- In some classes we also brainstormed key questions and terms that went along with our motifs.
HW: Study for vocab quiz on Monday!
