I shared Ball Don't Lie by Matt de la Pena today. Students will begin sharing their own favorite books beginning Wednesday of next week. The book talk format is available under the About section on Classroom.

We used passages from the book I shared as mentor pieces to inspire our writer's notebook entry today.

We revisited our work from yesterday and talked about writing strong thesis statements with vivid verbs. Students revised their answers and added evidence to support their ideas.

Don't forget to turn in the reading reflection on Classroom today! The 3-2-1 assignment is now 1 day late.
