A major change taking place this week is in terms of the Do Now and Reading Logs. From now on, instead of doing independent reading as the Do Now, you will be given a question to answer in writing. Independent Reading will happen at home, three times a week. You need to read 30 pages per week instead of 50, and your responses need to be more structured--you need to choose a writing strategy and write about how that strategy is used in your book.
See me if you have questions!
