ELA - On Monday, students will take a short comprehension quiz for their choice novel. Students will complete Science Fiction reading assignments and annotations for each chapter of Nyxia, Across the Universe and City of Embers. Students will share out their annotations (Words of the Wise, Tough ?’s, Contrasts & Contradictions, A-Ha, Memory Moments and Again & Again) as well as their Chapter Summaries created in storyboard that.com.
