3. Guided Reading Packet  This is your responsibility:  If you lose it, you print out a new copy and start all over again.  It is ok to work together, but the Personal Connection and Written Discussion Question should be original (your own).  Follow along with the calendar.  Have the vocab, personal connection, and written discussion question completed before class.  Random checks and grades will be assigned throughout the unit!

4. Guided Reading Packet Cont.  Vocab:  Define each word according to the context of the sentence.  You have to FIND the word to KNOW the context. (i.e. verb, noun, adjective…)  I recommend dictionary.com for quick, painless definitions  Class Discussion Questions:  These questions will help you while you read.  We will go over these questions in class.  You do NOT need to answer the questions ahead of time, but you DO need to think about them as you read.  Personal Connection:  Look at the discussion questions, pick one for inspiration.  Write about how that question relates to a personal experience from you life  For Example: What kinds of cruelty did Douglass witness as a boy? I have never witnessed anything as cruel as Douglass, but I could write about a time when I was little and I saw my friend hit by a car.  You will have to write one for each chapter, but NO REPEATS…really try to think about different moments. Follow the directions CAREFULLY!  Write a discussion question.  Same as when we were doing Socratic Seminars.

5. As we read (recommendations)  Look for examples of narrative techniques and rhetorical techniques  Imagery, irony, pacing, reflection, dialogue, voice/style  Allusion, analogy, antithesis  Ethos, pathos, logos  Look out for V.I.P.’s (Very Important Passages)  If you have your own book…WRITE IN IT!!!  If you have a school’s copy, GET POST-ITS!!!  This will help you get used to annotating books (an AP/College skill)
