Reading Assignment

I have assigned My Brother Sam Is Dead, a chapter book that takes place during the American Revolution. Students are expected to read fifteen (15) pages per schoolday. If they fall behind, they can catch up on the weekend. We will not be reading any stories out of our Houghton Miffling Reading anthology while we are working on MBSID. I will be spending more of our language arts block working on grammar skills.

Students are given two different types of worksheets to complete: 1) Vocabulary, and 2) Comprehension and Discussion Questions. They are to complete these worksheets as they complete reading the appropriate chapters. The worksheets are then due two schooldays later. For example, they have a Comprehension and Discussion Questions worksheet that covers chapters one and two. They should have finished reading chapter two today; the end of chapter two falls between pages 31 and 45. The comprehension questions worksheet covering those two chapters is then due next Tuesday.

• Comprehension Questions - Chapters 1 & 2 - due Tuesday, March 13
• Vocabulary - Chapters 1 to 3 - due Wednesday, March 14
