Good morning classes. Our lesson today has two sections: a quick writing prompt and the next chapter from The City of Ember.

Our writing prompt for today is:  Please share your thoughts on returning to schools on Monday. How do you feel about coming back to MAA? Is it a relief? Do you have concerns? Etc.    As always, please spend 10 minutes quietly writing on this prompt.

For our novel today, we will be listening to Chapter 9: The Door in the Roped-Off Tunnel (click the link below). There are also three questions to be answered when you finish reading. The questions are as follows:

1. What does Doon find in Lina’s apartment? What does it cause him to do?

2. Describe what happens when Doon and Lina visit the Pipeworks.

3. Doon and Lina make both an inference and a prediction based on what they saw in the Pipeworks. What is their inference and what is their prediction? (Remember:  an inference is a guess about what is currently happening, and a prediction is a guess about what will happen next).

The writing prompt and the questions have been sent to you as a single assignment in Teams. You can record your answers and your response to the writing prompt in the same document and submit as one single assignment.

As always, I am available throughout the day to take any questions you may have. Good Luck. Looking forward to seeing all of you soon.
