Today in LA we rviewed three types of questions that appear when responding to reading passages:
literal
inferential
evaluative
I would ask students to teach their parents about the three types. I think you will be impressed. ;)
Please read at least 20 minutes each night.

LA Tech Effects Unit review ( Reading Passage)

Please be sure to hand in your review booklet by Friday LA 7F.
Thanks!
Mrs. Thain
P.S I hav corrected all short stories and returned them. The student feedback was very helpful! Students that did not hand in report, need to see me asap. Great to see students identifying the writing traits: idea development, organization, word choice, conventions, voice and sentence fluency. Thank you for your contributions each day! :)
