Welcome! April 3rd, 2018 Tuesday Do Now Get out your weekly Bell Ringer sheet and begin working on Tuesday’s assignment. Once the bell rings, you will have five minutes to guess the meaning of the word. Make sure you explain your thinking! Remember: Do Now's are INDEPENDENT and QUIET exercises. Thank you 

The Book Thief: Part 1 Quiz! In five minutes we’re going to take a quiz over part one of The Book Thief. Take this time to flip back through your text or talk about what’s happened so far with a partner.  Once we begin, remember: no talking or cell phones. You’ll get one warning. After that it’s a zero. Oh no!

Character Diaries! IXL: K.4 and K.5 Just like we did for Hamlet, after we read some parts of The Book Thief we’ll write three short diary entries (at least 150 words each) about the events in the book from the perspective of one of the character. Here’s the catch: since Leisel still can’t read or write very well, you’re going to have to write your entries from another character’s perspective. Make sure you not only capture the events of the book, but also your character’s personality.  I would prefer these to be typed, but if you must write, make sure your entries are at least 150 words each.
