I hope everyone enjoyed the three-day weekend. I got a chance to read your "Day in the Life" papers, and I appreciated all of the creativity and effort that many of you put into them.
This short week, we'll work on our annotation skills -- how to make notes on a text you're reading to help uncover an author's purpose and main ideas. We'll continue to work on our writing skills by focusing on outlining, using the "universal outline" tool.
TUESDAY: Peer review of universal outlines, fine-tuning and then turning in. Annotation work on short article. Due: Universal outline response in phrases about spying on teen article, Final Tweet, Hip hop article vocabulary worksheet. HW: finish annotation work.
WEDNESDAY: Silent, sustained reading of your independent reading book with "whiparound" exercise.
THURSDAY: Introduction to theme, theme vs. subject exercises as a whole class and in groups.
FRIDAY: Current events/issue in an article. Universal outline response in class. HW: Finish universal outline for Monday.
