Good morning classes 706 and 707. Community news first: I noticed yesterday that most of class 707 checked in with me on zoom yesterday, and only 3-4 students from class 706 checked in. Please be aware that this is one of avenues I use to take attendance. Thank you to all the students that submitted their work via pupilpath, email,or lightsail. I also use submitted work to take attendance.

We will also identify the text structure in the two newsela articles.

Today is also strategic reading. So log into lightsail read for 30 minutes and complete the cloze assessments and any short responses assigned.

For those of you reading fictional independent books, answer the short response question Using RACE:
   Explain how the author uses dialogue to help the reader better understand the complexity of the character?  Does the character say one thing and then do something else? How does the dialogue show the character's dominant trait?

For those of you reading non-fiction answer the short response question using RACE: How does the author's use of text structure develop the central idea of the text?
