Today, please take 2 minutes to look over your class notes/activity from the previous class and prepare yourself for a short quiz on the book: The Twits by Roald Dahl.
You will have 10 minutes to complete the quiz. If you finish early, please use the back page of your test to brainstorm an idea for your own story inspired by the works of Roald Dahl. Would you write about characters that are gross and horrible like the twits? Or would you tell a story about a heroic animal like Muggle-Wump? Jot down some ideas while you're waiting for the rest of the class to finish.
After our quiz we will read the book "The Magic Finger" by Roald Dahl. This book should be a little easier than The Twits. The lexile for The Magic Finger is about 600-650. This is mainly due to the length of the book--Roald Dahl's writing hasn't changed drastically.
In any case, please read along (your eyes should be scanning the page as you listen to the text being read aloud). As you read notice the words you don't know and underline or highlight them in your text. At the end of class, please put your handouts in your folder along with your course criteria sheet and notes from The Twits.
HOMEWORK: please complete the noun handout. Keep this paper and turn in on Tuesday for homework credit.
