Due 10/28

Continue reading and annotating chapters 14-18 (also read chapter 18).

You will complete a vocabulary square for at least 8 words. As always, I encourage more. Even though you are looking for vocabulary, your annotations should be more than just circling unknown words.

I am starting to move over to the fameacademy.literacy@famefund.org email address, but if you send things to the other address, I will still get them for a few weeks.

Please message me with any questions.

Below you will find the slides explaining the Vocabulary Squares.

Reading Schedule Fall 2017

This Saturday you will be getting your Fall books for Critical Literacy, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings". Below is your reading schedule for this book.

October 14 - No Class SSAT (start reading since you have double the chapters due next week)
October 21 - Chapters 1-13 (read up to, AND including, Chapter 13 BEFORE class this day)
October 28 - Chapters 14-18
November 4 - Chapters 19-23
November 11 - Classes Cancelled
December 2 - No Class ISEE
December 9 - Chapters 24-36

*As always, you MUST annotate as you read.
**You are welcome to work ahead, but I would recommend trying to keep pace with the course as I may assign you different tasks as you read different sections.
***If you read ahead, you should take more notes on the reading. It will not be acceptable for you to come to class and not participate because you "forget" details you read weeks ahead. You are responsible to make sure you are prepared.
