READING

Sustained Silent Reading (SSR)  -  Using material of your choice, read silently for approximately 20 minutes per day (Feel free to reading longer if you so desire).  You can read a novel, essay, magazine, news article, etc.  These can be either in print or e-copy.  After completing the reading you can fill in a reflection on the sheet attached to this post or on loose-leaf.  This is the same thing we did to begin each class during first semester.  

WRITING

For each day this week let’s begin by journaling your thoughts and experiences with this unprecedented situation.  How has it affected the world?  How are you dealing with it?  How can you make things better each day for you and those around you?  Take approximately 10 minutes each day and get pen to paper (or type and save electronically)    *  Don’t forget to focus on both creativity and the 7 Traits of Writing (look them up if you forget!)
