"First Day Fly" Discussion/Review and Quiz in Canvas
Independent Reading
In "First-Day Fly," the boy describes his shoes as his "babies." What does the author's use of this description communicate to the reader about how the boy feels about his shoes?
Think of another possible interpretation of this story in which the narrator is not actually an older version of the main character. Who could the narrator be instead? Explain.

CommonLit First Day Fly- Finish First Read, then guided reading. Review Terms, for quiz tomorrow.
Tomorrow's quiz: It will only be five questions. I haven't decided if there will be retakes so reread the text and study the terms. Another good way to study is to retell the story to a family member. If there are retakes allowed, it may be a different format AND you will need to submit a handwritten summary of the text to prove you tried to understand it better.
