  • Read ALL assigned sections of the text (skipping parts will leave you confused and with an incomplete understanding of the story)
  • View any resources that are provided on this Padlet (they are meant to help you)
  • Give me YOUR answers--don't rely on other sites to analyze the literature for you (you know who you are)
  • Ask questions frequently (this is a challenging book that will require more close reading for everyone in class)
  • Use your class time effectively (avoid playing games, watching unrelated videos, or texting as these activities will not guarantee your success in my classroom)
