7TH GRADE LITERATURE

DUE TUESDAY:

THE BOOK THIEF - Re-read Prologue and up to page 45

I suggest you do not wait until Monday night to do this. Ideally, you should first read the assigned passage without your pen. Put the book down and absorb the reading. Later, at a different time, go back and read the second time with your pen and make thoughtful and well-considered notes. Circle vocab words (words you don't know).

TYPE and bring to class 3 points to be discussed during our conversation. As always, these points can be about symbol, motif, theme. Make sure you thoroughly explain each point and include a text reference (page number, quote).
