1. Individual Reading and Fill out Reading Log  (San Diego Testing) 
         Fill out four sticky notes about one book you highly recommend.  
             1)  Title and author of the book
             2)  Four bullets of information about the book
             3)  Your rating for the book of one to five stars with 
                         five the best
             4)  What you would use as an illustration if you 
                        were making a PowerPoint slide about it 
Example:  
1. The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis
2.
  • This is the last of the Chronicles of Narnia.
  • Jill and Eustace are pulled into Narnia to aid King Tirian as he fights the last battle against evil in the land of Narnia.
  • Evil wins the battle, but may not win the war.
  • Other kings and queens of Narnia from the other books come in at the end.

3. Five Stars because it is exciting and uplifting and fun.
4.  I would use the book cover. 


             
2. Fluency Partner Practice -- more mummies!

3.  Finish and check the crossword.

4.  Create a PowerPoint together
