GT and I had a lengthy discussion of Part Four of the book which he finished reading for homework. We talked about major themes and major conflicts. GT also wrote his answer to the essay question as part of an evaluation for this part of the book. We then moved to the vocabulary book. We started a new unit. We read the informational article highlighting and introducing the new words in context. We began working on some of the application activities. GT will read Part 5 of the novel for homework.
