3- chose one chapter of your readings and begin a close reading (the close reading can be completed next time)

4- In you close reading, extend the message in context and the message today using the historical context, the geographical context, the structure, themes…….anything you find in your study of the text should contribute to the extension of the message. The message should not be only summary of the text.
