We did talked about "Genre Rules" and finished the white page of the Genre Flip Book. Come see me in room 611 if you have lost yours.
I posted due dates for your home reading book: You should finish reading your book by 10/9/2009 (A Day), 10/12/2009 (B Day). That gives you 10 class periods to finish your book. Oral book reports will be on 10/13. If you will be gone for Fall Break, please make arrangements in advance of your holiday. Extra credit presentations will be on 10/9/2009 for A Day and 10/12/2009 for B Day.
Homework: Using Post-it Sticky Notes, mark references in your book that describe the characters in your book. You will keep track of these most of the way through the book. I'll let you know what to do with them next week (on Friday).

In some countries (for example, the United States and the United Kingdom), copyrights expire at the end of the calendar year in question. Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 - extended terms to 95/120 years or life plus 70 years.
