Keisha Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Today I showed you a picture of a girl and asked you to speculate about who she is and what her life is like. We collected some of the ideas on the board. Then we read the story "Keisha" in your book Toolbox. I stopped reading after each paragraph and asked you to summarize what I had just read in 1-2 sentences. That way you practised listening, reading, thinking, writing and summarizing your thoughts at the same time. It turned out that some of your predictions and guesses about the picture of the girl were right.

Your homework for Thursday March 26 is to read the story "Keisha" again. Also write down your answers to the following questions:

1. What parts of the story do you find most important?
2. What would you have done if you were in Keisha's position?
3. Describe Keisha's life 10 years from now.

Please bring your answers to class on Thursday. See you then!
