Working on an Independent Study Unit. 

1. Review the instructions and timelines (hint: we are at conference #2 or reader’s notes for the second half of the novel should be completed).
2. Work on reader’s notes. 
   1. Read handouts on close reading.
   2. Review the big ideas of the lecture that your novel connects to.
3. Schedule time to work on notes independently (hence the title of the task–ISU)
4. Conference to get feedback and/or share your notes with me for feedback.
