New Novel

This week in reading we began our third novel of the year, Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt.

*If you had the chance, would you want to live forever? Why or why not?
*Is it ever okay to run away from home?
*If you get an opportunity to make money, should you always take it?
*What secrets should be kept and which ones should be broken?

These and other questions will be answered as we find out more about Winnie Foster and the Tuck family.

Throughout the unit, students are encouraged to borrow a copy of the book to help them with their assignments or to reread any parts that they missed or just need to understand better. See me for help!
