The extravagant beauty of the opera house give it sparkle and life. • B. The reconstruction retains some of the building’s old character. • C. The preserved sections make the new building more valuable. • D. The opera house is energized by all the visits from tourists.

  3. Reading Workshop • 20-25 minutes • Remember: You must be present and ON TASK during Reading Workshop in order to receive points for reading. That means you are NOT doing homework, sleeping, going to the restroom, going to the library, goofing off, distracting others, etc. • 5 points for every Reading Workshop = 10-15pts. a week. That adds up!
