My uncle’s wedding was fit for a king. The stained glass windows in the church let the sun peer in at the beautiful bride. The whistle of the flutes as she walked down the aisle sounded like morning birds. When the couple said, “I do” and were announced as man and wife, the crowd erupted in a volcano of cheers.
The reception was rich with royal reds and blues, and a tinkling chandelier hung from the ceiling. The appetizers featured scallops, lobster, and jumbo shrimp. The
reception died down at about 1:00 a.m. It was a
night to remember.

3. “The Most Dangerous Game”
Today, we’re going to listen to the audio book of Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game.” The less you know about the story going in, the better!
As we read, keep an eye out for the quotes on your quote hunt handout! And yes, they are in order. 

4. “The Most Dangerous Game”
Time for another hunt! I’ve hidden eight different questions around the classroom. It is your job to find any FOUR of them and answer them before class is over.
As you find each question, be sure to write down your answers in the corresponding boxes on your handout.
The game is on. Good luck! 
