Monday, May 11, 2020

Good morning, everyone.

From about 11:30-12:00 each day this week, I will hold a brief live meeting to review the day's reading and writing tasks. Do your best to attend these meetings for further clarification and explanation of these assignments.

This week, be sure to submit all assignments under the "May 11 - May 15" activity on FreshGrade.

Today's tasks are:

1. Monthly News Article:

TODAY'S ARTICLE:

After reading, answer the following questions in complete sentences by either downloading and editing the page, writing your answers on a separate piece of paper, or typing them out in a word document. Upload your answers to FreshGrade.


2. Daily 6-Trait Writing

Complete the posted worksheet. You may save the image and mark it up, copy it onto a separate piece of paper, or print it out – whatever works best for you. You do not need to submit these. I will post the answers so you can make your own work on Friday, along with your weekly paragraph writing assignment (which you will be required to hand in by Monday).

TODAY'S WORKSHEET:
