Reading:
We will continue Module 5: Lead the Way in HMH into Reading. Please see below for more information about this module.
Writing:
After reading a book review in their HMH Into Reading book, students became interested in writing their own book review. They are currently in the planning stage of their writing. Each student selected their favorite book and wrote an opinion about the book, along with one supporting reason. Next week, students will add an example to support their first reason and develop a second reason with an example to strengthen their opinion writing.
After completing their book reviews, students will work on writing a personal essay about what makes them unique.
