Day 1, Part IV

2. I will be able to:
Write independently about the reasons I chose to
read the book they selected.

3. Now it is your turn to write a response to the book you
chose earlier. Please remember to write in complete
sentences, while using appropriate punctuation and
capital letters. Please remember to cite evidence from
the text. We will work on our writing for 10 minutes.
If you finish before I rattle the West African gourd
shaker, you may draw a picture based on your book
beneath your writing.
We will write this response on the first page of your
Writing Journal.

4. Who would like to share their response to the
writing prompt?
Remember to keep your writing journal and
independent reading book in a place where you can
find them every day. Also, unless instructed, your
Writing Journal is NOT a Drawing Journal.
