ELA - Students conducted their final Book Club for their Historical Fiction Books. They then took their AR quiz and turned in their books. We then began a basic informational meeting on their project for this Unit - Civil War Journalism. Many students have not ready any books other than the Historical Book Club book. I will be entering the percentage of their goal points students have read so far this marking period. This will not effect their grade (it is marked as NO COUNT) but is there as a wake up call. Homework: READ! Journal #4.30. Reader's Workshop Day 13, Writer's Workshop Day 1, Civil War Journalism Organizer & Civil War Project

Technology - Students checked in their Investigate. This was a credit or no credit check in - meaning I gave feedback on realistic expectations and missing print evidence for expenses/income.
