Reading Tasks
As we read through the book, make sure you answer all the Reading Questions in your notebooks. Pay special attention to the tables where you can record information and observations about the characters. Don’t forget, for every comment you make about a character (e.g. Adeline’s father never notices her) you must show evidence from the book to back up your statement. Use page references in your notes to help you do this.
