Independent Reading Time is shifting a bit beginning this week. Students will be responsible for reading 180 minutes a week. At the end of each week, they'll submit a form to recap their time spent and pages read.
We read an article titled "America's Killing Contagion" that attempts to provide answers for why America leads the world in mass shooting events. Students responded to the article in their notebooks and offered solutions to this problem. We also discussed the matter as a class.
We're still working on the Short Story Challenge--hope to finish that up tomorrow.
I returned the summer reading essay to students today. Students may revise the essay for up to half of the points back and scheduled tutorial sessions. Before the session, students should highlight the thesis statement of the essay, highlight all text evidence in the essay, and prepare specific questions that they have about their essays.
