Today, to get ready to jump head first into The Beach, we went over your terms organizer for this unit. Get the definitions filled in, and we will be returning to this document a few times in the next two weeks or so. I won't be collecting it yet, but make sure you have it on hand. Click here to download and see me if you have questions.

We also went over your requirements for your two-column annotation notes, which are a requirement for this unit and will be graded two to three times throughout the unit, and then collected at the end for a grade. Click here for the handout that was given in class, which include instructions. Expect to have about 75-80 entries by the end of the unit to recieve full credit on this assignment. It is your responsibility to keep up with your entries, and you will need to have your notes in class every day. You will be using them for various activities and assessments.

Next, we reviewed your reading of the first few chapters of The Beach from over the weekend. Click here to read the outline of the discussion.

For homework, please read pages 23-34 and click here to read the guided reading questions (you don't need to answer these on paper, just look over them before you read to help guide your thinking.) We'll be discussing these questions in class tomorrow.

Remember, your blog assignment is due tonight at midnight!!! =)
