Students read their personal novels (and are taking them home/returning them for a stretch).
Students had a bit of time to work through their comprehension questions (front side only) in groups, and to take notes on character, and setting.
We briefly looked at the history of systemic racism in North America, in order to contextualize the novel.
In groups, students worked on creating a list of themes that have come up on the novel so far - they do no have to create a theme statement, or write anything other than the big ideas.
No homework other than to polish your answers and theme lists - Have fun in the snow!
