Planning Schedule:

Chapter one reading will be assigned on Monday, September 22, along with the study guide.  Any reading not completed in class on this date should be completed as homework.  There will be a reading quiz on Tuesday, September 23.

There will be a chapter 2 reading quiz on Thursday, September 25.

I will assign chapter 3 for reading homework over the weekend; however, feel free to complete the reading and study guide ahead of time so as to avoid homework over Homecoming weekend.  There will be a chapter 3 reading quiz on Monday, September 29.

We will complete the study guide for chapter 3 on Monday after the reading quiz.  Whatever is not finished in class, should be completed as homework.  I will not assign reading homework Monday night.

We will spend part of the class period on Tuesday, September 30, reading chapter 4 and responding to the chapter 4 study guide questions.  Chapter 4 reading should be finished as homework on Tuesday night.  There will be a chapter 4 reading quiz on Wednesday, October 1, at the start of class, and class time will be given to complete the remainder of the chapter 4 study guide.

We will read chapter 5 and respond to the study guide on Thursday, October 2.  The remainder of chapter 5 reading should be completed as homework, and we will complete the remainder of the chapter 5 study guide on Friday if necessary.  Students should expect a reading quiz on Friday, October 3.

Students are expected to complete chapter 6 reading over the weekend of October 4, and then be prepared for their final reading quiz on Monday, October 6.  We will have a final class discussion over the last chapter of the book, and then we will take our final test over the novella on Tuesday, October 7.  We will watch the movie on Wednesday, October 8 - Thursday, October 9.

I love it when students share their writing, so I am always happy to have volunteers who are willing to read their work aloud.  If you want to share your own rambling autobiography with the class, you are welcome to do so.  Keep in mind, you may not necessarily want to write about your deepest and darkest secrets for the entire class to hear, though!  Have fun writing!
