What up dawg?

Today my reading classes took a computerized reading placement test to get an idea of approximate reading levels.  Our investigation into “Why Read?” finished with the creation of comic strips to explain reasons for reading. The next unit of study is “What makes me who I am?” Students are learning about the concept of conformity. The reading skills associated with the unit are elements of literature.

The writing classes have finished the overview of the writing process and the 6 traits of effective writing. Today they are prewriting a descriptive paragraph about an animal.
