Independent Reading (This is week #23)
Focus this week:
Good readers try challenging books to improve their reading skills.
Good reading habits:
* I read books from a variety of genres. 
* I don't limit my book choices to books that are easy to read or from my preferred genre. 
I record my book choices in "My Reading List".

Work Time:
* Independent Reading
* Reading Conferences

Class Code: M2LBC


Unit 4: The Power of Argument
Essential Questions:
What do I already know about argument writing?

Standard:
W.2.a Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence. (CCSS:W.6.1)

RR.1.c.iv Apply grade 6 Reading standards to literary nonfiction (e.g., “Trace and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, distinguishing claims in a text, distinguishing claims that are supported by reasons and evidence from claims that are not.”). (CCSS:W.6.8b)
I will know I’m successful when...
My ISN (Interactive Student Notebook) is up-to-date.

I have finished the "Analysis of an Argument" worksheet and constructed response. 

I take advantage of any "edge time" reading that I may get. 

Mini-Lesson: 
(What Mrs. Brownell is going to teach us)
Vocabulary quiz next Tuesday!
Work Time:
Make sure that your table of contents is up-to-date and that pages 162 and 163 in your ISN (Interactive Student Notebook) are finished today. 

You will also need to make sure that you read and follow ALL the directions on the "Analysis of an Argument" worksheet and constructed response. 
Debrief:
You may take home your ISN to study for Tuesday's vocabulary quiz.
