READING AND ANNOTATING DIRECTIONS FOR TODAY
When you read and annotate today, strive to reach for other texts and visuals. Try to weave that spiderweb of connections. Connect the dots! Look for and find patterns, like Professor Foster says.
Vocabulary
Get out your two vocab lists. You should be on the lookout for CONNECTIONS as you are reading today.
HIGHLIGHT vocab words when you see them, and write the definitions out to the side as part of your annotating, please.
Animal Farm Reading Assignment
Read chapters SEVEN AND EIGHT, pages 38-58
Annotate carefully:
make inferences

make connections
highlight (or underline) vocab and define it
Add to and refine your list of characters in your notes to keep them straight; list characteristics each time the animal is mentioned.
