Presentation Transcript

  1. What do I do if I cannot understand a passage? • Reread (all good readers will have to reread 2,3 times before they fully understand) • Use context clues to make an educated guess- read the paragraph right before it! • Look up unfamiliar words. • Ask a classmate/neighbor. • Ask the teacher.

  2. Classwork • After you are done with your quiz, divide up the quotations with 1-2 other partners. Work together to translate the quotations into modern English. • This is due Monday at the start of class.

  3. Reading Notes for Chapter 9-10 Chapter IX (9) • Mr. Jones: the pharmacist/doctor who comes to see Jane • countenance: face/personality Chapter X (10) • piquet: a type of card game

  4. Homework (Due Monday 12.03) • Read Chapter X (10) CAREFULLY. There may or may not be a reading quiz. • Annotate the text. If you annotate, you will be allowed to use the book on your reading quiz.

  5. Suggested Annotations Comment: Explain your own opinion about one of the characters/situations Prediction: Make a prediction supported by evidence Question: Ask about something that is confusing or that you are curious about Vocab: Define a word you do not understand (ex: piqued  to be interested in something)
