August 30th Agenda

A River Runs Through It Vocab

Since one of your class' requests of me this semester was to broaden your vocabulary, we will implement vocab into the A River Runs Through It unit.  As you read, write down words that you do not know.  Before you finish reading the text, you should have at least five. 

Today I will give you a sticky note to keep in your book.  On this sticky note, you will write 1-5, and before you finish the book, you will write down five different words from the reading that you are unfamiliar with.  This list will be due on Tuesday September 13th, our last reading day for this unit.  Each member of the class will hand in 5 words from the reading - no exceptions!

*Make sure to review your notes on Norman Maclean's biography - you will be quizzed on the information later this week!

Homework for tonight:

Read pages 1-10 in the story - come to class tomorrow prepared for discussion (remember to write down your first unfamiliar vocab word!)
