Close Reading Questions: 

• On Friday, you got a chance to finish reading "Us and Them" and we discussed some questions about the end of the story in class. 
• Today you get to work with a partner to answer very similar questions in writing. 
• You are working together. 
• You will fill out ONE form with BOTH your names on it. 
• One partner should open the memoir. (If you don't have a copy of it ask for help.)
• The other partner should open the form. 
• You can take turns typing your answers. 
• You are BOTH responsible for the quality of ALL of the answers. LOOK at what your partner types!

Reminders: 

KEEP READING! You should be close to finishing your book by the end of the week. Reading is your homework.
