Reading Entries

~ Reading entries are assigned 1-2 days per week.
~ Students should be writing their entries 15-20 minutes, and they should reflect the work we're doing in class (developing theories, setting significance, character influence, theme, etc).
~ Entries should be written about the current book the student is reading.
~ Students have been collecting entry samples to refer to for support.
~ If an entry is not completed, it should be made up before the next reading entry is due.
~Entries are checked for completion each week. Class notebooks are collected for close readings and feedback about every four weeks. Students are expected to read the feedback and apply any recommendations to their future entries.

Vocabulary Word Study

VOCABULARY is on HIATUS until further notice...

~ Students receive 15 new words each Thursday.
~ Students are assigned vocab homework 1-2 days per week, but they should be studying their words all week.
~ Students will complete a Vocabulary Exit Slip for each vocabulary lesson.
~Students should be looking out for vocabulary words in their books, as well as attempting to include them in their writing and discussions.

Students can play games and study their words here.
