This is the same as least week, except that there are different prompts! From Monday to Thursday, select a new book to read and record what pages you read each day. Try to read for approximately 20 minutes per day. On Friday, select any TWO of the prompts below to complete.

Please email or share your completed work to me on Friday using the template below.

Prompts:

  3. Make a Connection: As you read, a certain point in the text reminds/reminded you of another story, poem, movie, song, or something from real life. What was it? How are the two alike?
