Each week on Monday a reading record will be due. Forms will be provided in class the previous week and extras are located in the bottom tray under the TV. If you don't have a form, you may complete your assignment on the computer or a sheet of paper. If that is the case, it is still important that you respond to the correct reading strategy for the assigned week. Reading strategies are explained below. If you continue to scroll down, you will find the strategy for each due date this year.

READING STRATEGIES:
Connections Write down three things from this week’s reading that you could connect to personally, from your own experience, from other texts you’ve read, from things going on in the world right now, or from history.
