Reading Check 1

Hi guys! Welcome back!

Each week, you'll be reading from our current book and answering what's called a "reading check" while you read. The questions will be posted here - you will have a week to complete the questions and turn them in. Your answers may be typed or hand-written, or sent to me via Google Docs (we will go over this process in class). Please make sure your answers:

- are complete sentences
- start with a capital letter
- end with punctuation
- avoid pronouns and use specific character names instead
