10/4

Today I reminded students who  have not yet turned in their final drafts of the Lewis and Clark paper to do so.  We then talked about the post it process and heard several very good post its.  We then took one post it from last night's reading and "wrote long" about that post it in the Reflections on reading section in the reader's notebook. To write long means simply to explain your reaction or your prediction or your interpretation.  I then modeled in a read aloud how to use post its to "research" our reading.  HW:  Read and log and create post-its also, find a new title to read and add that title to your "To Read" section in your Reader's notebook.  Your next book must be historical fiction and about slavery or the Civil War. Use the resources on this blog to help you.
