How to Do the Reading Log for A Night to Remember

Since there seems to be some misunderstanding on how to do the reading log for the noveL, A NIGHT TO REMEMBER, here 'tis, "How to do the reading log!":

Write at least a paragraph which is an overview of the events of the story. Then choose two to three characters from that chapter whose stories you find affecting or moving or weird or interesting. The stories are very short - just snippets, really - and should not take long to do. Then write down three words - at least - you did not know the meaning of from the chapter and most importantly, LOOK UP THE DEFINITIONS and WRITE THEM DOWN IN THE READING LOG. It's not going to be much help if you just write the words down, right? Here are some words volunteered by the second period class:

ebullient
trek
unperturbed
leisurely
Belfast: is a city in Ireland noted for its ship building
quartermaster, astern, cleat are nautical terms.

If you are doing Cornell notes then you may continue working on your reading log in that manner.

Remember, your fifth chapter of A NIGHT TO REMEMBER is due on Tuesday, December 4th.

On Monday we will resume our voyage to Greece.

Happy reading!
