Look over your chapter 6 and 7 quarter notes.

Today, we listened to the rest of chapter 6 and the first half of chapter 7. You should have two pages of quarter notes for chapters 6 and two pages of quarter notes for chapter 7. There is so much information in each chapter. By the end of chapter 7, Mr. Jamison pays a visit to the Logan family. It is very easy to understand why the Logans have such great respect for this man. Mr. Jamison is warning them that they are treading on dangerous territory by boycotting the Wallace store. Mr. Granger appears at the end of the chapter and it is obvious he resents the fact that the Logans own land that once belonged to his family. Mr. Granger speaks very condescendingly to Uncle Hammer and Papa. We might have a little quiz tomorrow so make sure you understand the chapter. Now is the perfect time to check out "bookrags" or "spark notes" if you have any questions. "The best has yet to come!"

Homework

Bring in scissors, glue stick, and a magazine or newspaper.
We will make a collage which represents one of the characters we've met thus far.
Bring in 10 words or phrases describing your character ( you'll have time to cut some out during class).
Finish reading chapter 7 (we listened to half of the chapter today)
Make sure you have 2 pages of quarter notes for chapter 7 (we worked on this today during class today).
