Parent Homework for Friday's Book Club!

Hi Parents!

Friday is Family Friday, and this week we are asking you to prepare for a book club conversation about the short story, "The Pet," by Cynthia Rylant. Today students brought home a copy of this passage for you to read. Please read the story, and consider preparing for the book club by:

  1. Jotting thoughts, questions, and wonderings. 
  2. Underlining sentences, words, or phrases that evoked a powerful reaction and left you with a lasting impression.
  3. Noting parts that you strongly agreed/disagreed with.
  4. Considering the purpose of this text. What was the author's intent?
  5. Highlight themes and lessons learned.
We look forward to having some powerful discussions together in class on Friday!

Take care,
Ms. Bouchard
