January 12 assignment:Read "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" by Walter Dean Meyers on page 170-178 using either your textbook or the online text. As you read, pay attention to how much the narrator allows you to know about each character's thoughts and feelings. How does this affect your understanding of the story? Answer questions 1,2,3,4, and 8 on page 179; we will review these in class. Review the 8 vocabulary words that are boldfaced in the story and be able to define using your own words. Be thinking about what your "treasure" might be. We will journal about that later. Hope to see you tomorrow:)
