due by the end of Tech Week to Ms. Levin
Read all of Chapter 6, finishing the novel.
Type a four sentence summary which describes the events, major characters, setting(s) in that chapter, and the resolution of the novel. (The resolution is not just what finally happens. It includes how the main characters feel/act about what happens, in other words, how the conflict is resolved.)
Make a list of at least five new vocabulary words. Look them up and write their definitions as well as etymologies.
Complete the attached Venn diagram which compares and contrasts Lenny and Candy’s dog.
Hand #’s 2, 3 & 4, stapled together along with this cover sheet, to Ms. Levin by the end of the day Friday, March 23rd.
Teachers will be monitoring DSPs during Tech Week. If you have one of those in your schedule, or any free time during the school day that week, you should work on this assignment. Otherwise, it is homework. Either way, you should begin it early in the week so you can have it to Ms. Levin on the 23rd of March.
