-Last class you read chapter 5 and I said that we'd be having meetings this week.  I have taken a look at the calendar and figure that I have about three weeks of teaching left so I'm changing the format of the novel study.  There are NO MEETINGS this week but I still encourage you to talk to your groupmates, or other classmates, about the chapter.  Like we would in the classroom, have the conversation about plot details, style, character development, and vocabulary.  I will be assigning chapter questions and collecting homework instead of a pink question every two chapters.
-Find below the questions for chapter 5.  I'll be calling for homework tomorrow.  Remember:  when I call for YOUR homework, it should be unique and distinct; it should not look like anyone else's work.

3.  We learn that the man had been giving David milk and vitamins for as long as David can remember.  Make a prediction:  Why do you think that the man did this?  No one else got milk and vitamins, so why does David get this special treatment?  Why milk?  Why vitamins?  /2
