Today is our second literature circle day. I will take a few minutes to review the expectations with you and then you will get into your groups. Remember, the main thing you are being marked on is your ability to talk about your book.

You will have a self-evaluation to complete at the end.

Then you will finish your opinion paragraphs.

FYI Midterms start next Friday. Our midterm is on Monday April 16. I will discuss what you need to review on Monday.

Today we’ll begin with 15 minutes of silent reading and then time for you to complete your book club role including your discussion questions. Then you will have time to finish your opinion paragraphs. These are due today.

We’ll start today with 20 minutes of silent reading and then head down to the Inquiry Den to work on our opinion paragraphs. Please see Google Classroom for more details.

Today we’re going to do an overhaul on the book clubs. Some of you will continue with your original book. Some of you are doing a different book. Some of you are continuing with independent book clubs. Others are going to move into a supported book club. Our next book club will be this Thursday so it’s important that you know your role.

After we do some work on our book clubs we are going to move on to our opinion paragraphs which we started on Thursday.
