Unit 4 Readings

Each night, read the pieces listed for the next class. They're short, about 5 to 9 minutes each. Any class can open with a pop quiz on the reading, so read every night.

How this works

  • Do the check-ins as you read. They're how you find out what you missed.
  • Finish each reading with the "Am I ready?" checklist. Anything you can't check off, bring as a question.
  • Class opens with a 5-minute question window. Then there might be a quiz.
  • Quiz answers go on lined paper: name, date, and "Pop Quiz: Reading #" top right; numbered answers; complete sentences.
