I am posting tonight because we all need to go to school tomorrow to gather our things. If you are heading to the school, please be sure to remember to social distance yourselves at least 6 feet away (2 meters) from each other and follow all of the directions in order for us all to be safe. It will be good to actually see some of you tomorrow.

So, if we were in school, we would be reading S.E. Hinton's famous novel, The Outsiders, therefore. I am going to attempt for you to "read" this wonderful novel while we are at home. BUT you are going to "read" it in a bit of a different way. I will share the links to the audiobook of this amazing book with you in order for you to LISTEN to the book being read to you :)

So, for this week, you will NOT have a Common Lit reading to do.

Your job for this week will be to LISTEN to chapters 1, 2 and 3 of the novel. DO NOT PANIC - each chapter is about 25 minutes long so you should try to listen to a chapter a day. I will upload the links to the audiobook in the above posts - they will be on YouTube.

Once you have finished LISTENING to the chapters, you will then complete the little short answer quiz I have assigned to you. You can do this just in point form. Type it up OR write it out and take a picture of your answers, or do it in Google Docs (if you are comfortable using this) and share it with me. Whichever way you choose to do the assignment, EMAIL it to me so you can get a result for the assignment. DUE DATE: Monday, May 11 - next Monday

As always, if you have any concerns or questions or problems with the assignment, email, text, call or send me a message on Facebook and I will try to help you out.

I know this is a little different from what you have been doing for me but I thought you might like a change from the reading comprehension on Common Lit.

Take care and be safe. We will talk soon.

Mrs. J. xo
