3) Read Aloud - Chapter 11
4) Vocabulary - this book is filled with crazy-making, vocabulary-expanding words.
Find the most obvious and suitable definition for the following words. You can BYOD (bring your own device) and use your smart phone to use a dictionary app or an online dictionary, like dictionary.com. I also have the ipods (ask Mr. Kochanuk for them - they are currently locked in his cupboard).
Be prepared to discuss the words tomorrow.
