12.01 - Starting The Road

At the beginning of class today, everyone had 20 minutes to begin working on the set 8 roots and prefixes (see below).

Next, I provided everyone with copies of Cormac McCarthy's The Road which everyone signed out online.

Everyone had the rest of the period to begin reading The Road. Fifteen minutes into the reading time, I checked in with people to see what page they were on (this will help me establish a good reading rate for working our way through this book).

Homework:

Read to page 33 in The Road for Wednesday.

Prepare for the set 8 roots and prefixes quiz on Friday.
