Due Monday:

1. Read to page 44 in Alchemist. 3 sticky notes attached to part of the text responding to what you think, notice, like predict or wonder.

2. Record dreams if you have them.

3. Choose your companion novel. Decide whether you will read the companion novel after The Alchemist or at the same time.

*Some students want to know whether they can read ahead in The Alchemist in order to begin the companion novel. The answer is yes, but make sure that you record your responses on sticky notes in the text for each section assigned in class. For example, even if you read to page 58, have 3 sticky notes for pages 1-22, 3 for 22-44, and 3 more for the next section as corresponds to your reading schedule. This will allow you to participate meaningfully in class projects and discussions.


*TFA drafts are being returned with edits. Please spend time revising. You have 5 days from the return date to resubmit with revisions!
