Reminder: We need to share one cart between two classes. This means that we have 10 devices every day.

We will all read and track our reading every day. Then some of us will work on devices and some of us will work on our reading and writing.

Here is a schedule for when you will have access to a device.

Read your independent novel for 20 mins.

Today we will review annotating for non-fiction and creating a research note.

Group 3

1) Update your reading tracking sheet. Make sure you add in all the pages read since the last time you updated it.

2) Go to the assignment tracking sheet to see what you should have done by now.

3) Work on your Global Perspectives editing. Use this sheet to guide you. When you are done, submit the sheet via the Assignment Submission page (found on this blog).

Remember, when using online docs, make a copy of the document so that you can write on it.

4) Choose a second page to edit. Review the sign-up sheet to be sure no one else has chosen the same page.

Read your independent novel for 20 mins.

1) Update your reading tracking sheet. Make sure you add in all the pages read since the last time you updated it.
