Answer the following in full sentences:
1. Is this the book you want to use for your first book project? Why or why not?
2. If it is the book you want to use, how are you preparing to finish it in time? When and where do you plan on reading your book?
Journal Writing Period: Due to student request, we will have a period of 15 minutes free write. A FREE WRITE is when you put the pen to paper and see what comes out. In a free write, you should feel completely FREE to get your thoughts, feelings and emotions out without fear of judgment or criticism. This is just for you and you will only be asked to share a word or a sentence of it! The only requirement is that you write the entire time. Don't worry about spelling, grammar or conventions. Just write!
If you need inspiration to get you started, consider the following quote:
"Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
-Francis of Assissi
Share Out: We will go around the room and share out "as little as a word, as much as a sentence."
Closing: Shout Outs and Call outs
Exit Ticket: Hand in your Active Learner Sheet for the week. Expect a new one tomorrow.
Homework: Continue reading your independent reading book. Start writing a summary of your book in your journal for your book project.
