The week of Nov. 7

Monday- We will do Read out Loud, Caught Ya, and we'll do an introduction to Afghanistan (the country, the people, what kids do there, and their culture). This is in preparation of reading The Breadwinner- a book we will begin as a class on Thursday.

Tuesday- Students will get their myths handed back to them, they'll take a pre-test on pronouns, and we'll learn some background information on the author of The Breadwinner, Debra Ellis.

Wednesday- We will do Read out Loud, Caught Ya, students will get vocabulary words for The Breadwinner, and we'll do a PowerPoint on pronouns

Thursday- Students will get their own copy of The Breadwinner, we will define who or what is a breadwinner, and students will get questions they'll need to answer over chapters 1-3. Reading chapters 1-3 will be due on Monday. If there's extra time, they will silent read.

Friday- We will do Read out Loud, Caught ya, study vocabulary, and we'll also go over pronouns.
