6th - Skills: Listening, Independent Reading, Writing, Predicting, Elements of Plot, Characterization

 In the 4^th quarter, you will be reading a book, and I will be reading a book to you.

The book you will be reading is: From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.

The book I will be reading to you is: The Ghost’s Grave.

There will be NO AR requirement this quarter.

You will be given a reading and quiz schedule for From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. It is up to you to keep up with this schedule. We will have independent reading time during the week, and if you use this time wisely you should be able to stay on task. We will not be discussing the reading assignment until after the quiz.

 I will be reading The Ghost’s Grave to you in class. Each time I read, I will give you questions that you should be able to answer when I am finished. There will also be “quick writes” to go along with this book. You will need a folder or spiral where you can keep your answers to your questions, as well as your “quick writes”.
