Taylor had completed several lessons in her vocabulary book over break. We went over her answers. She did quite well with the application of the challenging vocabulary. We then continued our study of the novel. I introduced the double journal entry. We read examples of one. I presented the rubric that I will use to evaluate the double journal entries. I also stressed the importance of annotating so that she will have quotes to write about in her entries.We continued reading some of the novel annotating for important and meaningful quotations. We also discussed and formulated a list of questions that she will ask each Batt scholar for the Yearbook. We made one list for the elementary and another for the middle/high students.
