In response to a student's smart suggestion, I am reversing the order of things a little. I'll read first and then silent reading will follow.
1) Teacher Reading - Chapter 5
2) Silent Reading - finish at least up to Chapter 6 tonight. I'll read Chapter 7 tomorrow.
3) Discussion -->
4) Notes - Chapters 1 -4 --> Template in Google Docs
5) Review all the major projects. Questions.
6) Time to work. Your choice - the journal, the bulletin board, the creative and visual projects... get out your schedule and set up some deadlines. I'll come around and sign them.
