5/14-”Monster”
Wednesday- Students are well on their way to becoming an astute detective!! We have been reading the novel “Monster” by Walter Dean Myers. Students must try to figure out is the main character, Steve Harmon, is guilty of the charge of felony murder. Each student is responsible for keeping their own detective notebook of important quotes, evidence and noting flashback. They must find ways to prove that Steve is guilty or not. We are paying close attention to how flashback is used in this novel. Students must dig deep into Steve’s character to see if he is at all capable of committing such a horendous crime.
It is mid-quarter and students must have 3 books read by this half-way point. They are responsible for completing a WASL prompt and journal entries for each book. There is still several weeks to go before the quarter is over and 3 more books must be read by then!!
