Work Session

Not much to say today :) We get an awesome video by John Green, then we’re diving back into Animal Farm! We’re going to read chapters 7-8 today, combat style! I like it when we take turns reading aloud :D

Reading Rubric

Chapters 6-8 some reading and some of the recording

Finish up vocabulary

Closing Session

After we finish our reading today, I want you guys to take a moment to write a short reflection on what has happened so far in the book. Write a short paragraph for me that talks about these changes. What do you think went wrong on Animal Farm? Why did things change when they started out so well? What do you think will happen in the future?

Assessment
