Hello everyone! I am not feeling well today, so please be awesome for the sub and use the steps below to have a successful, productive class period.

Here's what you'll need to be successful in class today:
 * Chrome book
 * Headphones (you may use your own or borrow a set of mine. Please be sure to wrap the cords neatly when you are done)
 * Assignment book
 * Pencil
 * DGP sentence
 * __Giver__ packet
 * __Giver__ book (if you were absent yesterday and did not get a book, there is one for you on my podium. It has your name on a post it and everything)
 * __Giver__ bookmark (you can get one from the round table - they are bright orange)

When you have all of those things gathered, you can proceed to Step 1 below:

Step 1: Get out your assignment book and a pencil and watch this video to see what you have for homework.

Step 2: Get out your DGP sentence and a pencil and watch this video to go over the answers for Wednesday and Thursday. Make sure you make corrections as needed!

Step 3: Get out your orange __Giver__ bookmark and your __Giver__ packet. Watch this video to learn about how to do your questions for each chapter.

Step 4: In your __Giver__ packet, turn to page 3, which is the crossword about Lois Lowry. I suggest you read over the clues a bit to get a feel for what is on there. Now, click here to watch a video interview about her life. YOU WILL NOT GET ALL THE ANSWERS FROM THIS VIDEO, but you will be able to fill in some of them. Don't worry about the others - we'll be coming back to this puzzle again at another time.

Step 5: Use your time wisely. If you have finished steps 1-4, please do any of the following:
 * finish Vocab 9 in quia (I reset anyone who got locked out)
 * finish Study Island Assignment 3 take 1
 * read and do the questions for Chapter 1 of __The Giver__
 * any other homework
