Welcome to our book! To get introduced to it, here is a set of activities/questions for the classes that meet twice a week. This Homework is due on the Wednesday class, March 5.You are doing 3 main things, Pre-Reading, Reading, and Writing.
Pre-Reading activities are ones that help introduce you to a book, and help you begin to get an early sense of it. Here are 4 Pre-reading questions:
1. What does this book seem to be about? (one typed para.)
2. How does the book seem to be organized? (check Table of Contents for some guidance around this.)
3. How many illustrations/graphs/pics does the book have? (Hint: it is not a big #!)
4. Once the book ends, what are some things that come after?
Reading: Please read the Forward, the Introduction, and then pages 5-19.
Writing: You have two questions to do after you read.
1. What seems to be the TONE of the book at the start? (Tone is like the feeling that the book gives off--is it funny, or somber, or aggressive, or dry, etc.....there may be a mix of tones.) (one typed para.)
2. As you read the early parts of the book, what are some things that you did not know about? (one typed para.)
You have 6 questions all together. Pls print out the homework and bring to class on Wed, Mar 5.
Is there no class?
