A. Change Seats
B. Turn in Independent Reading #10


Opening:
1. While I check your work from Friday…

Retell the chronological sequence of events in "A Hundred Bucks of Happy" using the transitions provided on page 26. 

2. Review the choices made at each moment in the sequence

  • relieved
  • disillusioned 
  • happy 
  • irritated
  • content

  • at peace

  •  4. Number each Event in the Sequence 1-8.

    5. Find Thoughts, Actions and Quotes that reveal each trait.
