Good morning classes,

In today's lesson we will be focusing on our class novel The City of Ember. First, please read the brief summary of chapter 5. This should serve as a refresher, as we listened to it one week ago. Secondly, please listen to the read aloud from chapter 6. And finally, copy and complete the questions for chapter 6. 

Chapters 5: On Night Street

Granny’s aging mind grows more muddled, so Lina has Mrs. Murdo, their neighbor, keep her company. Lina visits a store on Night Street, run by Looper, that has colored pencils, a rare commodity in Ember. There, she buys two, one green and one blue, but loses Poppy. As Lina searches for Poppy in surrounding streets, a blackout, the longest in Ember’s history, consumes the city. When the lights return, Lina finally finds Poppy and learns that Doon kept her safe in his father’s shop during the blackout.
