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

Let’s take a different approach this week and look at a specific form of writing.  I would like you to write a letter to yourself!  Look up a letter that is in two point punctuation form and create a letter which recaps your life for the past seven weeks or so (since March 16!)  You an send to your future address (so where you want to be in say 20 years) and highlight things happening in your world and also the entire world.  This will be a great keepsake to remember this extraordinary world event.
