Bellwork: We did 15 minutes of silent reading and then completed metacognition reading log entry #12 – metacognition logs will be collected and graded on Thursday (#1-10).
After silent reading time, we worked in reading and writing stations. Students that did not finish their CER from yesterday or did not complete the Self-Driving Cars Newsela were required to work at my station at least one time to get their work done. Students were also required to visit the Verb Practice station if they did not complete this for homework. This is due on Monday and we will go over answers then. The newest Article of the Week which is a Pro/Con article about whether college athletes should get paid to play is due Friday, December 20th. If students weren’t behind on work or finished their verb practice and article of the week, they were allowed choice stations of One-Pagers, MobyMax, ReadTheory, or IXL Extra Credit.
Have a great weekend!
