We reactivated prior knowledge as I queried Cam about the characters that were introduced in the last chapter. He demonstrated excellent recall and retrieval skills and responded to questions correctly. We also began reading in Chapter II and discussed the new characters that were introduced - the Soc girls, one of whom is a cheerleader and who expressed kindness to Ponyboy the protagonist, and asked about his brother. Cam made predictions about what we think would happen as the story unfolds and reviewed the slang vocabulary that the author uses which was typical of the neighborhood, location, and time the action takes place.
