Thursday Sept 13th

Today Engaged Reading began, and it was great to see you all with an independent novel of your own choosing.  Remember that you need to bring your novel to each and every English class...even on Wednesdays...and that you should be reading for minutes 30 every day outside of school.  Your job this year is to get better at reading and writing and that won't happen without practise.

Binders were checked.  Expectations quiz was written.  Parent slips should now be signed and handed in. 

Today we read an article about the September rush back to school and began to utilize the SMART reading method to discover a piece of  text.  Students are responsible to finish off any remaining SMART reading notes/connections etc. and write a response to the article.

Homework:  1.  finish off SMART Reading - due MON Sept 17th.
                     2.  Write your response (read assignment sheet for details) - work will only be accepted if it is double spaced, and either hand written in blue or black ink or word processed - due MON Sept 17th.
                     3.  Read 30 minutes (or more) each day.

See you Monday!
