Suggested Work for the Week of March 30th
- I have posted 2 articles on Newsela for you to read and annotate this week. They are titled “Students Recreate March Madness” and “Why you Should Read Slowly”. Please follow all directions given and complete your work by Friday, April 3rd. Annotation guidelines will be available on the blog and google classroom.
SSR Reading
- Read daily. I suggest 30 minutes a day. You can make daily annotations on sticky notes, your phone, or notebook paper to help increase your comprehension. See the bookmark posted on Google Classroom under SSR weekly reflections for sentence starters/ideas.
- At the end of the week (anytime up until Sunday) write an SSR Weekly Reflection (posted on Google Classroom).
Note : If you do not have your novel at home, or you are expecting to finish it soon, you may use any online platform available to you for access to books, or use my favorite, cheap, online book site to buy a book, or two. I have included some links below to help you get started, and the first 5 people (new customers only) to use the first Thriftbooks link will receive an additional 15% discount on their book purchase. If you have a Dearborn or Dearborn Heights library card you may get ebooks from the library, as well.
