Chapter TWO

NOTE: You are all making a mess of stickies on my floor. I cannot afford to buy you all stickies when you are wasting them. Use them appropriately or I will not be able to provide you with any. They should not be on my floor or crumpled up and thrown or ANYTHING OF THE SORT.

Unit Goal: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.2
Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.

Today's Goal: Read Chapter Two. Continue working on looking for moments that relate to the topics we are investigating while we read.

The Plan:

1. Read (Independent Reading)
2. Read (Ch. 2, Homeless Bird)
3. Google Form with a Partner
4. Work on Context Clues or Achieve or Independent Reading with whatever time we have left
