Happy Friday!

I hope you all became hooked on Bryan Stevenson’s story yesterday and are excited to meet the condemned man who is the focus of the rest of the novel! Please grab a copy of the book from the black crate and follow the directions below: (if the crate is missing, ask whoever is covering to call Mr. Buss and ask for the crate!)

1. We reached the end of the 1st paragraph on page 13 yesterday. Please complete the Introduction today. (finish Page 18) If you were absent yesterday, please read as much of the Introduction chapter (Pages 3-18) as you can - try to finish.

2. You may choose to read any of the following ways: Read silently to yourself (yes, you may use headphones to listen to music) - OR - Pick a partner or a group of only 3 people (no more) and read softly to each other - make sure other groups can do this and that the room doesn’t get too loud.

3. Remember, the books MUST stay here in class. Return your book to the black crate before you leave.

4. IMPORTANT FINAL DIRECTIONS - this is a test to see who is following directions carefully. Click the link at the bottom of this post to comment. Include the following information: My book number was ______ (numbers are written on the edges of the book). One thing I wonder about this book is_____________ (finish the sentence). I will be using your comments to confirm attendance. If 100% of the students in class leave the correct comment, I will bring a treat on Monday!

Have a wonderful weekend - see you Monday!!
