To begin, Jasmine and I discussed the novel that we finished on Monday, Ghosts. Jasmine was able to describe the setting and main characters with terrific detail and accuracy. We touched upon the book's more nuanced themes, namely the main character's fear of death. I was pleased with Jasmine's level of understanding. We began a new novel, Wish, by Barbara O'Connor. Jasmine and I co-read the first three chapters, pausing to assess the main characters and setting. Jasmine summarized what we read, and we made predictions about what will happen next.
