Today, you are writing your mid-term. When you have finished, hand it in with the question sheet attached and your essay choice circled.

You now need to do the following:

·         Go to the library and sign out the novel The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

·         You will then go to your portfolio where you will retrieve three blue sheets/packages

o   Read the sheet entitled “The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas  by John Boyne: Novel Study Unit”. It will give you instructions for the other two handouts as well as an “assess and reflect” activity to help you understand your own personal reading times.

o   Examine the handout entitled “The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas: Chapter Title Analysis”. You are to analyze each chapter title BEFORE you read the chapter (just as you did with poetry) and write these down as assigned (you will need to do this for chapters one and two).

 

o   Examine the sheet entitled “The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas: Chapter One”. This handout contains the questions and explanations that you need to read/complete after reading chapter one and chapter two of the novel.

o   You are to have chapter one and two read and the activities completed for these chapters as well as the “assess and reflect” activity, by the start of class on Thursday, February 6, 2014.
