Each group will go to a certain room for lit on Wednesday and Friday. Ms. Moore-Quinn can tell you which group is going where. You need to finish the book by Monday 1/26. You can break up the reading in whatever way you would like. For your assignment due on 1/26 I would like you to create two questions that would be good for a quiz. The questions should only deal with chapters 17-21. Email me at fletchera1776@gmail.com if you have questions about the book. I will try to respond in a timely manner. See you Monday.
