Today:

1. SSR
2. Grover Over
3. Writing Workshop

Mrs. Ortega did not come today, so our substitute was Mrs. Del Rusa. We did SSR for twenty minutes, no surprise there. Then we read an article titled "Is Grover Finally Over?" (A#44), which is about the downfall of Grover Norquist's ideas. We answered the following questions:

• What is Bruni arguing?
• What evidence does he use to support his argument?
• Draw a square or highlight important sentences.
• Choose a paragraph and explain the tone purposeful words create.

After that, we did writing workshop. Well, we actually just revised our Model Assembly Timed Writings (A#41).
