Make a connection: Quote a passage, with page number, that reminds you of something that has happened to you.  Write at least two sentences briefly describing the connection you made.
Expand your vocabulary: Write down at least two words you did not know, their page number, and the sentence they were used in. Write one sentence describing what you think the words means.
Make a prediction: Quote a passage, with page number, that makes you think something is going to happen. Briefly describe what your prediction is.

Words
By Eloise Greenfield

Oh, I love those wacky words
Those crazy words that crack me up,
Like dibbily-doobily-doo and such,
They don’t mean much,
But oh, I love them so.

Oh, I love those wicked words,
Those mean, mean words
From the mouths of sorcerers,
Who point and yell
And cast a spell, saying
“You will sleep for a thousand years.

I will not change,
So stop your tears. Sleep!
And the good folks fall and then lie still,
While I hug myself
To hold the chill
Brought on by those
Wicked words
