KBAR due Friday

Achieve: 
Sections 2 and 3 did Achieve today.  They will also do it tomorrow.  Achieve is graded for completion and effort, not performance, as a formative grade.


KBAR Due Friday:
I need this sheet handed in on Friday.  I lead the students through the sheet on Tuesday.  For each session, they write down a short summary of the story they just read.  Then they answer two of the responding to literature questions.  They do that a total of four time.  They should list the times they read and get a parent to sign.

Right now, I am teaching them the routine.  They must get in the habit of doing this every week.

(Section 1 has an online version which I am figuring out how to use best.  Please give me a week to figure out what I want there.  I do not want to make them write on paper and type online if they are the same things.)

Date: 9/8 – 9/12
In 50 words, summarize the pages you have read this week.
