Make sure you finish reading "The Prologue" for tomorrow (Thursday). Remember - don't stop looking up unknown words and make sure to continue reading and applying the annotations in order to gain insight!
Reading difficult texts is tough - it's not as simple as reading a contemporary young adult novel written in an accessible narrative voice - so remember to apply the skills necessary for success and ask the questions necessary to unlock meaning. It may take longer than expected now, but it's meaningful work and it will pay off!
