70 & 8D Language Arts, Home Learning, April 14-17, 2020

Posted: April 13, 2020

From now on your daily tasks will be designed to help you gather information to answer one focus question per week, to be completed by weeks end.

This week’s focus question is: What makes you happy?  Think about this and keep it in mind as you complete each of your daily tasks. If you find information that relates to this question or sparks your interest, remember to include the following:

·   the date

·   the idea or thought that sparked your interest

·   where you found it

Please find your daily task breakdown below. I will monitor your guided reading results and offer feedback where necessary.  Remember the Read Aloud option is available for all articles posted. If you have questions, email me:  paula.davidson@nbed.nb.ca
