After finishing our writing unit, we've started a reading comprehension unit.  In this unit, students will enhance their reading comprehension of short fiction and non-fiction texts.  So far, we have reviewed the "Big 6" reading comprehension strategies (visualizing, connecting, questioning, inferring, determining importance, and synthesizing).  Today, we learned how to do our first Article of the Week!  This is a very important transitional skill for high school.  Students will have time to work on their Article of the Week tomorrow - the due date is Friday.
