Students will be given 15-20 minutes of reading to do in class.  We will discuss, model, and create  types of text (narrative, nonfiction, poems, etc.).  In the class students are expected to participate in group activities and discussions.  We will be keeping writing logs so students should bring a composition notebook and pencil everyday.  Lastly, I have a classroom library.  Students are more than welcome to check out books from there!
