Tonight's Homework...
1.) Margin Note Practice: "Other Fish to Fry"
Be sure you use as many techniques as you find useful. Rely on Mrs. Smith's "What is Margin Noting?" handout to review the 11 techniques we've practiced.
2.) Quiz: Uni- Bi-
Based on our in-class quick review, some of you are studying consistently; others are not. Last-minute "cramming" does not result in long-term mastery.
3.) Twenty-Minute Habit, Log.
Feel free to begin reading "I Pledge..." books in addition to any other interesting and challenging texts.
4.) 120-Second Expert Speech
5.) A & D blocks: "Reading Wisdom" final drafts due Tuesday.
6.) Extra-credit F blockers: Keep the posters coming.
Reminders and Coming Attractions:
- All LLM teachers have been given copies of your "I Pledge..." They will expect to see you with at least one of your books during every Monday and Tuesday LLM. You've pledged to have have at least one book with you in school each day. Strong readers (athletes) become masters because they read (practice) daily.
- We will take a break from MUGS and Word Attack next week to focus more on writing instruction.
22 = The number of seventh graders who proved to Mrs. Smith today that they read this blog! Participation is increasing. Keep it up.
Confidential to Mags Kimball: Thanks for the riddles.
