Happy Rainy Wednesday!! We are continuing our semester exam reviews. As soon as you read the blog, get your writer's notebook. Flip to the journal section, write the page number at the top of the page; then flip to the table of contents and write the page number and messiest desk next to it. Complete the writing in 5 minutes. When finished writing, find your reading passages from yesterday. If you are not finished, please complete. If you are finished, read your book silently.  Stations - SAR in reverse, Revising/Editing, Question strategies.
