If you were absent today, be sure to check MS Teams for the handouts for next week's SWW. Your brainstorm plans should be completed for before class on Monday. Laptops will be provided.

​*If you did not attend Student Led Conferences, please remember to have your chats at home and return your completed yellow sheets.

Be ready to present your book talk! We'll take volunteers, but when we run out of volunteers, there will be a lottery to choose presenters.

*Reading Responses #1 and #2 are now overdue. Both should be submitted through MS Teams.

Submit at least one Reading Response today through MS Teams, and finish and submit the second one ASAP (this week!) if you'd like feedback. This week during class you will have time to work on your responses, decorate your bags, and start preparing for presentations on Wednesday, April 7th.

Spread out your reading over the break to ensure that you complete your novel before we return to school.

Feel free to work on Reading Responses and send them to Ms. Clarke through MS Teams if you'd like feedback.

Enjoy your holiday! :-)

Make sure you bring your chosen Book Fair Project novel to read in class. 

Revised (late) Persuasive Paragraphs need to be submitted no later than by Tuesday, March 9th at 3:30 PM so that I have time to print them out for class use. 

*All overdue assignments need to be submitted before Spring Break or they will be given a grade of zero.

*Ensure that you have your topic chosen and your 3 arguments + 1 counterargument by Thursday's class so that you are ready to draft your paragraphs in class.

Peer-edited, revised, and edited polished paragraphs are due in MS Teams by midnight on Friday, March 5th.
