- Although we were missing a few students, we began our novel study today. We spent some time going over the background to the story and I drew a time map on the board to make it clear that the story is set in the future even though people live as if it were the Frontier days.
- We started reading chapter one and Riley was quite excited to predict what was to happen next. We’ll catch up the other students tomorrow – I told the ones present today that they’d have to do the explaining tomorrow and we’ll see how much they understood.

- All but three students were away yesterday for their Career and Work Experience program, but I had discussed with them last Friday to make it explicitly clear that they were still responsible for completing what work we ‘would’ be doing during Monday’s class. Their assignment was to have chapter nine read and the related questions done for today’s class. None of them did that. We reviewed how the CWE program works and what is expected of them in their classes as a result of days they missed. Mr. Gasper came as well to make sure I was understanding things properly.
As a result, and to make it clear so this won’t happen again, those who were not finished their Ch 9 stayed at lunch until it was completed.
- We moved on, though, to read chapter ten together (listening to the audio version) and then students did the four questions for that chapter.
- Tomorrow we will review why Ch 9 is such a key chapter, since everyone will have had a chance to read it by then.
