We will continue to read our independent novel. If you didn’t set a reading rate yesterday, be sure to let me know to time you.

We will complete our academic goal planning frame, and post our goals on Sesame.

Finally, we are going to review ways to annotate a non-fiction text and practice those skills with “What to do when you’re not the hero anymore” by Laurie Penny. I think you’ll like this post because it challenges the patriarchal society of North America (at least).
