Hey!<br />
<br />
While you're reading (not talking), you need to get a couple tabs open:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Your highlighted copy of "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez</li>
<li>Socrative! (<a href="http://m.socrative.com/" target="_blank">http://m.socrative.com</a>&nbsp;is the address)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<b>Goal #1:&nbsp;</b><br />
<br />
Yesterday you highlighted sensory details in "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings."<br />
<br />
You're going to choose your favorite, most descriptive sensory detail from what you read yesterday.<br />
<br />
In Socrative, you'll be doing the following:<br />
<br />
Choose the best sensory detail from the story and (1) type it into Socrative, (2) explain which sense it appeals to, and (3) explain how the description affects you as a reader.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Goal #2:</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Reread the passage from your group novel listed below.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Find specific instances where the author uses sensory details and copy them into your English Journal.</li>
<li>State which sense each quotation appeals to, and how it affects you as a reader.</li>
</ol>

<br />
<br />
<b>Goal #3:&nbsp;</b><br />
If you read this, Mrs. Roberts and I still want high fives, but you'll need to tell us who your favorite character is in your group novel, as well. **Be careful: We might ask why.<br />
<br />
You have all period to fulfill this goal. I hope you read it.
