Tonight's homework is to complete the Summary Notes for March 22-May 8 in their Reader's Notebooks. Students should read each page in the section (as seen on the left of their summary notes page) to find the gist of each page then create a summary statement to make sure to get an accurate summary statement. We spent our class period today going over that because it's hard to write a summary that includes all of the pages instead of only focusing on one or two details from the entire section.
