ELA 9A

The students read for 10 minutes.  Then I read aloud the first chapter of "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton.  If you wish to hear the chapter read aloud again you may go to the following website:

Audio+The+Outsiders

The students had a few minutes to work on some sheets about chapter one, which we'll finish and correct tomorrow.
