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 focus on some creative writing.  Here are the topics for each day.

04/14-  My favorite restaurant

04/15-  If I were an insect…

04/16-  If I could go anywhere in the world

04/17-  In 20 years I will be…

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!)
