Reading: This week we will be busy writing an ode and responding to books that have been read so far this year. Tuesday and Thursday are dedicated to the Ode to 2011, this includes instructions, writing the rough draft and editing the work. Wed. will be in the Media Center to nominate a favorite book read this year for the Dickerson Book Award. The specific guidelines for this will be discussed on Wed. Finally, on Friday, students will go to the computer lab to type their Ode and turn it in for a grade. As usual, please read for 20 minutes per night.
