American Street - Day 11

Happy Friday!

We'll start out the day with time to read "Kasim's Story" and chapter 29. You're going to read them on your own. While you are doing that, I will come around to check in the las set of journal responses.

Then we will have time to discuss what has been happening in the book as the action has been building over the past several chapters. I will give you three slips of paper:


Question - something you want to clarify, something you want to explore further
Text - a specific quotation from the book you want to include in our conversation
Response - a comment you want to make about a question, piece of text, character, part of the story, or just about anything else you think will be a positive contribution to our conversation
In our discussion you will have three opportunities to speak, using the structure of those slips of paper.


Over the weekend, your homework is to finish the book and write a journal response to those chapters.
