Yesterday you were all put into your new groups and given your new reading books. As we discussed in class, you will read approximately half of your book per week. Please see below for the pages to be read by each group this week.

Blue:  Billy’s Luck – Please read to the end of chapter 2 (p23).

Yellow:  Dads Win Prizes – Please read to the end of chapter 4 (p18).

Red:  Pet Squad – Please read to the end of chapter 5 (p21).

Green:  Antarctic Adventure – Please read to the end of chapter 3 (p27).

Once you have completed your reading you should complete your  two segments using the information from the chapters you have read i.e. Question Master and Illustrator.  You should also choose a short section/paragraph from the book to read aloud to your group members. You should briefly record why you have chosen this section/paragraph.

In class yesterday we went over the types of questions you should be coming up with this week: literal (the answer is found directly in the text). Please write out 5 questions which can be shared with your group members during our next session on Tuesday (due to us changing our Book Detective day). You must also have detailed answers for each of your questions.

You should also complete a detailed illustration of an interesting part of the story so far. A short, written explanation should also be included. This task should be completed in your Book Detectives jotter.

Please remember if you do not complete this task you will be unable to participate in our class lesson and it will be recorded as incomplete homework.
