Homework:

It was our last day using the Gettysburg Address for our lessons. Today we listened to different versions being spoken aloud, and the actually recorded our own. Make sure these are shared on the iPads with families at home! Afterwards, we had some time to provide feedback to WEX, read silently or work on our book projects. This has been a challenging week, but hopefully students realized the value of struggling with a new, complex text and also the reward in discovering meaning by rereading and responding in writing. Rereading text is not something students do because the don't understand it; it's something students do because they know there is more to discover...
