Begin reading “The Scarlet Ibis” in the text packet, exploring the following:
1. Review “The Scarlet Ibis” vocabulary handout to coincide with reading. Anticipate a vocabulary exam. 2. Complete Questioning Texts, Analyzing Texts, and study guide questions as you read to prepare for reading comprehension checks and exams. 3. Explore how the setting of the story contributes to the mood of the story, and how both help in the development of characterization. We will track this by completing the Chapter Note-Taking and Summary Prompts handouts. The first sheet provides a full explanation of how to effectively take notes as you read, and the second sheet is left blank for all your note-taking needs. |
