Today students read for 20 minutes, I assessed longwrites during this time in order to provide timely feedback so students could be informed about whether they are approaching them right or not. We talked after about the need for transitions, the need for less summary and the reasons we read. This lead to the idea that most students are missing the part of the longwrite where they reflect on what they noticed in order to gain a better understanding of their world.
My intention was to read "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury but we did not get there. We will read this text on Friday.
HW: Redos are due on Friday (this is a great opportunity to erase entirely a low grade on the longwrite with anew one now that you know what changes to make)
Readin Logs are due MONDAY 150 minutes
