    Independent Reading:

    Please keep reading!!! I have finished my second book and have moved on to a third book. 😊

     In addition to your reading log, I have added a section to OneNote for you to complete (1) response each week. Traditionally, we do this on Monday, but I will leave it up to you on which day you complete your response. Try to complete one per week.

     

    If you do not have access to OneNote, you can create a document in Word.

    If you create a document in Word,

    • Save it in OneDrive as: Your Name IR Prompts (Cquinn IR Prompts)
    • Just add to this one document each week

     

    If your technology is failing, complete it on a piece of paper.

     Title: The Tattooist of Auschwitz

     Author: Heather Morris

     Pages 32-46

     

                      I notice that Lale, the protagonist, is a prisoner in the camp Auschwitz and is "lucky" to have the job of Tatowierer. He puts the numbers on the prisoners when they arrive to the camp. In the text Jacob states, “And I will recommend you, my friend, to join me in this special job.” Obviously, Jacob knows that this new job is important. It will keep him safe from the Nazis. However, it also seems that his role in the camp is much more important to the prisoners because as the Tatowierer, he gets special privileges that he uses to help others survive.

     

     

    Membean:

    Keep on expanding your vocabulary. Aim for 30-45 minutes of practice each week. Break it up into 2 or 3 - 15-minute sessions to gain the maximum benefits each week.
