- with the Marking Period 1 and Marking Period 2 Free Reading Course Component fulfilled
- understanding how to go about purposefully re-reading Stage 4 of "St. Lucy's..." and with a plan of action for moving forward between now and next class block
- with a somewhat clearer sense of how to read literature purposefully--when annotating, what should I be writing?!
- beginning to more deeply understand Stage 4 of "St. Lucy's..." (and, as such, beginning to more deeply understand the entire story).
Transition (2 mins.)
--Pick up a copy of the "Purposeful Re-reading Tasks--Stage 4" document from the front table. After forming groups (in which you will work for part of today's class block and part of next class block), I will briefly preview the tasks for you so that within your groups, you can get started.
