3. The Book Thief
Turn to page 62. We’re going to read to page 72, and then you’ll read and annotate pages on your own.
As we read: Remember, we’re going to have a quiz over part one tomorrow. Make sure you’re paying attention and annotating as we go! It will help you remember what’s happening. 
As you read: Don’t forget to annotate! You will need at least one well-thought out, 2+ sentence annotation per page

4. Character Diaries! IXL: K.4 and K.5
Just like we did for Hamlet, after we read some parts of The Book Thief we’ll write three short diary entries (at least 150 words each) about the events in the book from the perspective of one of the character. Here’s the catch: since Leisel still can’t read or write very well, you’re going to have to write your entries from another character’s perspective. Make sure you not only capture the events of the book, but also your character’s personality.  I would prefer these to be typed, but if you must write, make sure your entries are at least 150 words each.
