What should one do when one finishes THE BEST BOOK? Shed a few tears because it is over, maybe read the sequel or a companion novel. We move from the dystopian genre (yes, the community is a dystopia) to the mystery and suspense genre. You will see the link for the list of choices at the top of the blog. I cannot provide a pacing chart since the books are differing lengths. Read 12-15 pages a day. Complete your book by December 1st. In this case, you do not need to worry about reading ahead. For this unit, finishing sooner is better! We continue with our pronoun unit in grammar. Need more practice with nouns and pronouns? Use IXL.
