Today I will collect Class Notebooks and Independent Reading Notebooks for those I haven't reviewed yet.

Opening:

3. Preview Reading:

• Small groups

Work Period:

Create groups of FOUR

4. Read the assigned piece in a small group:

• silently
• shared

• jigsaw

5. Discuss what you have marked in each piece

6. Transfer notes onto page 51-1 through 51-4.

Closing:

7. Finalize notes (page 51-1 through 51-4) on any of the readings you don't feel satisfied with.  Be sure you have two-three sentences at the bottom of each Notetaking Guide.

• Don't forget your commentary explaining why or how Ana is a hero!
