1) We’ll begin with silent reading today. At the end, I want you to write a journal response. Here’s a copy of the handout so you can see what’s expected. Reading Response Journals

2) When you’re done, please continue working on the paragraph booklets you got on Tuesday or Wednesday. The completed booklet is due next Tuesday.

3) Then complete your brainstorming for the different opinion questions you got yesterday. When you are done, bring it up to me and we will talk about which one you want to write your opinion piece on.

4) Tomorrow we will start the opinion piece outlines and rough copies.
