ERWC Period 1

Continue Reading Chapter 3 of Nickle and Dimed. Use the colored card you were given on Friday: green; lavender; red; blue; yellow; or pink. Remember blue: What is the purpose of the section? Green: Write down a fact from the Text. Lavender: Create a question. Pink: Select a vocabulary word and define.  Yellow: Write a statement that you agree with. Red: Write your feeling about that section.
So, your homework is to read up to page 185.  For every five to ten pages; complete a task based on your color of card that you received.  Be sure to include the page number of the fact, or vocabulary. Be sure your work is based on actually Chapter 3 and not Chapter 2!!! If you have not finished chapter two or need to review, do so!
