Good morning!

Sorting Hat GIF - Sorting Hat HarryPotter - Discover & Share GIFs

Harry and the rest of the first years have just arrived at Hogwarts. As Hagrid leads the way to the magical castle, the new students are brimming with excitement and nerves over the house they will be sorted into for the next seven years of their lives while they are in school at Hogwarts.

Today, as you read Chapter 7, we're going to see some of the emotions Harry is feeling and the thoughts that are going through his mind during the Sorting Ceremony. As you read, you're going to return back to the Reader Response lens from last week and think about how you would feel in the same situation.

TO DO FOR FRIDAY, APRIL 24:
  1. Read Chapter 7
    • This is a link to the ebook
    • This is a link to the audiobook (you do not need an account to listen)
    • Note: The audiobook is for the British version of the book, so the title is different and some words might be different if you are following along on the PDF. However, Stephen Fry (the narrator) is an amazing reader, and I highly recommend listening to the audiobook.
  2. Complete the Reader Response Lens Form for Chapter 7
    • Read the chapter slowly and deliberately and think about the questions above while reading.
    • You will need to log into your Office365 account in order to complete the form. Email me or send me a Remind if you have problems logging in. (This seemed to work for people yesterday.)
As always, I am available via email and through Remind. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need me. 😊
