WNB: What's the biggest misconception about teenagers today? When you hear people say, "Kids today," what do they usually follow it up with?
We officially started independent reading time today. I reminded students to track every book they read on the currently reading pages in their writer's notebooks. Students should include the title, author, genre, number of pages, and date they started the book. When they finish, they should note the date finished and provide a 1-2 sentence reflection.
Students began sharing book talks today. We will continue this through the rest of the week. The protocol and rubric are available on Canvas.
We discussed theme and big ideas in Night. Students have a timed writing assignment tomorrow. They will choose to write about perspective, the brown bag activity, or big ideas. They will be allowed to use their notes on this assignment, and they will have the entire class period to work.
