For Monday, December 7:
No need for point support format with this one. Just write your thoughts in response to sections 2-3.
However, please be sure to include thoughts about the following:
How do you feel about the non-Jews who stood by and watched the deportation from the windows? In 1944, they probably knew what might happen to their "friends of yesterday."

AR Glossary
ZPD/Reading Range = the reading range where growth occurs without frustration. This range will not necessarily match the grade level.
Points = a point value is assigned to books based SOLELY on the number of words contained in the book. Points do not measure difficulty.
Book Level = the readability of a book. AR uses software to scan every single word in the book and has a precise formula to determine readability. Again, this number does not necessarily correspond to the grade level. Most newspapers are written at a 5.0 level, even though adults read them.
Interest Level = indicates whether a book would interest or be appropriate for a range of grades. LG means 3rd and lower, MG means 4-8, and UG means 9-12. NEW: AR just added a category named MG+ meaning for grades 6-8. MG and MG+ are appropriate for middle schoolers, whereas MG+ books might not be appropriate for grades 4-5.
Average Percent Correct = the average of all quizzes taken for a certain time period. Student goals are tracked based on quarters. They can access their stats by logging into either Renaissance Place or Home Connect.
