How to Play:

1.  Each player is dealt 26 cards.
2.  Each player places a card down at the same time (next to each
3. other).
4.  Multiply the 2 numbers together.  
5. Jack, Queen, King = 10  Ace = 11

How to Play:

1. Choose the Dealer.
2. The dealer deals out the cards evenly to the other two players.
3. The two players with cards sit facing each other.
4. The dealer says “Salute!” and each player holds a card from the top of his pile to his forehead with the number facing out.
5. Addition– the Dealer calls out the sum of the two numbers.  For example 3 + 6 is 9.
6. Multiplication – the Dealer calls out the product of the two numbers.  For example 3 x 6 is 18.
7. Jack, Queen, King = 10  Ace =11
8. Each of the two players now tries to yell out the number on his forehead (which they cannot see!) based on the answer the dealer has given.
9. The winner takes both cards.
10. You can rotate the cards each turn so each player gets a chance to yell “Salute!”.  Or, play through the cards three times to see which player ends with the highest stack after all three players have a chance to be the Dealer.

1.  Continue to do your home reading log responses. They are due Monday.

2.  Your graphic organizers for your home reading are due today.

Now, onto today's assignment:

Have you ever had a Bento Box before?  What do you notice about the food?

You have likely noticed that food is in compartments, separated from one another.  Each compartment might be a different category of food or separated by sweet or salty, meat or vegetable.

You are going to be creating your very own BOOK BENTO BOX image for the book that you've been reading during your remote learning. Each item chosen around the book has some significance to the story and main character.

We created a Book Bento Box for the book, Out of My Mind, below.

Task #1 - Can you see the significance behind each of the objects we chose?

We will discuss the possibilities further during today's Google Meet. Be prepared to have some ideas to share with the group.

To learn more about Book Bentos, you can find some examples HERE and see some examples below:

Task #2 

Over the weekend, think about the items that you could include in your Book Bento box image. You should have no more than 8 items for your initial brainstorm. Start collecting them. These items should make sense and be an important part of your story's theme, represent your main character or actually appear in your story.  Be prepared with your list or actual items for Monday.
