Today we wrote in our Reflections on reading section in our notebooks. The new entry was based on IR books and students were asked to identify the setting of their books. They were then asked to support their assertions about setting with quotes or paraphrases from their books (including page #'s). We then broke into discussion groups to fill out the discussion web centered around the question, "Are people equal?". We then shared in a large group.
HW : In writer's notebook (create a new entry and date it)--Imagine what it would be like if everyone in the country were exactly the same and equal. Reflect on this scenario, make at least 5 predictions about this completely equitable society. Also, BY THURSDAY, 12/1 200 MINUTES OF READING LOGGED, MINIMUM OF 20 POST-ITS AND 3 LONG WRITES COMPLETED IN READER'S NOTEBOOK. Post-its may be kept in book if you are still reading the book, otherwise, they need to be pulled out and placed in "My reflections on reading" section of your notebook.
