Approaching the Halfway Point: January 29, 2020

Focus: Now that we're halfway through our first unit, how are we doing?

1. Warming up by checking in with a one-minute meditation, your checklist, and cell phone reminders

2. Relaxing into your independent reading books; remember that you should be at least halfway through as of this Friday

• I will be walking around to check your reading logs on your phone apps (you should have at least 4 hours of reading time recorded at this point).

3. Strengthening our grammar skills with Grammar Lesson #5: Parallel structure

HW:
1. By this FRIDAY, JAN 31, you should be at least halfway through your book. Catch up now if you have fallen behind.

• Also, if you have not turned in your second reading log yet, please take care of that ASAP.

2. Ongoing: Start prepping your book talk; make sure you're ready to go on your assigned date.

3. If you are absent, use the checklist and the class blog to make up the work you have missed.
