--Prior to engaging in free reading today, I am going to ask each of you to share out briefly about your book based on the following questions:
- What is the title of your book?
- Who is the author?
- How much progress have you made in your reading?
- What was happening when you last left off in the reading?
- Would you recommend the book to your peers?
Please spend the first few minutes of class preparing to share.
