Do Now: Take out your name placard and find your assigned seat. Take out a half sheet of paper and write your first and last name, the date, and the period in the upper right hand corner. Think about your favorite book, a book that you love, or (if you're not a big reader) a book that you didn't hate. Write a paragraph (4-7 sentences) about this book and what you liked about it. For example, I remember when my dad gave me the book In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson by Bette Bao Lord. It was the first time I ever read a book where the protagonist wasn't white. The book is about a Chinese immigrant girl named Shirley and her experience living in New York City. The book chronicles how she falls in love with baseball and idolizes the player, Jackie Robinson. I love this book.
