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. 

WRITING

04/27-  As I stepped outside…

04/28-  Advice to someone with a problem

04/29-  My hardest class

04/30-  Terrorism
