Week 2 lesson plans - Erin - Great work here - it represents many hours of planning. I look forward to seeing your VIPs! Michelle has a reading log that could be useful to you (and the kids) that requires parents to sign off on the reading homework. something to consider if the kids aren't getting it done. You are asking them to hustle through the book, which is not a bad thing, but you may have to slow down if some lag behind. I don't have a good sense of how committed the students are to homework. Also the review at the end of the week is a good idea. How about a quiz? These are necessary evils and probably something that they will see in school during the regular year. Also, I always try to connect the reading skills to their writing skills - at least verbally at first. "...author's use of symbolism? How would you use symbolism in your work? ...author's purpose in this paragraph? Structure of this paragraph? How about your own paragraphs...", etc. See you in a few and look forward to it! We'll figure out this tech thing before the end of the summer - I hope. LT
