Chapters 7 and 8: Due January 5th

THIS HW ASSIGNMENT HAS CHANGED. IF YOU DID THE HW ON CHAPTERS 7 AND 8 FROM OVER THE BREAK, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS ONE.

1. Finish chapter 7 with summary sentences and questions.
2. Read chapter 8 and create a newpaper article about Justine's trial. You must describe what happens in the trial by citing at least 4-5 events, details or images from chapter 8. Use imagery to capture the mood of the trial and outcome.

  1. Since it says "Summary sentences and self-generated questions", do we need to research words that we are unfamilar with?

  2. Sandy: Yes, its very important to research words you don't know, either if you have to or don't. Finding words you don't know will help you understand the book better!

  11. Juan: I'm guessing that no, if you did the summary, question and the other summarize question then you don't have to do this assignment that she just put on.
