=**January: Novel Study - Tuck Everlasting**= -We will be doing the reading in class - approximately two chapters a day.

-I will use the more in-depth questions to create a reading response journal. Pick one good question every couple of chapters and give the students a few minutes to write a response. Possibly share some responses with the class. The rest of those questions will be used for discussion.

-Some of the new literary terms skills to be learned this unit: -personification -simile -metaphor -foreshadowing -character webs (adjective and quote to support) -essay writing

-Students will complete comprehension questions for each chapter (more straighforward version) - homework if necessary. I have photocopied and stapled these questions as a package for your group. = = February
