January 24

I demonstrated how to do a book talk today by introducing students to Dear Martin by Nic Stone. Students will share their own titles beginning February 5! The process and rubric are available on Classroom.

Each week, we will read, annotate, and respond to a news article in our writer's notebooks. Students learned about this today and practiced with the first article, "Former NFLers Call for End to Tackle Football for Kids."

With the remaining class time, students analyzed their required summer reading book for theme and connected it to yesterday's short film. We will continue this work tomorrow.
