  1. Read 20 minutes silently everyday.

  2. Read and respond to this week’s Common Lit assignments (one fiction, one non-fiction). Please try to make notes or highlight what the instructions suggest you should focus on for each reading.

  3. Complete ANY 2 of the attached options for Quickwrites this week (I have one listed for every day and while you are free to do it every day for 5 minutes (go for longer if you wish…but don’t go past 15minutes), aim for 2.  Feel free to share these with me via email, Microsoft Teams or on our weekly call. I encourage you to share your writing with somebody at home too.

  4. Try to complete two IXL.com Language Arts activities (if you need a login, just email me or ask when I call for a check in this week).

Quickwrites

Monday

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” Write a narrative about a time when you did something you thought you could not do. Be sure to include specific details so that a reader can follow your story.

Tuesday

Write about someone who has no enemies. Is it even possible?

Wednesday

You have a chance to go back and completely re-do an event in your life. What is it, and how to you change it? What is the outcome? This can be a real or fictional event.

Thursday
