How to Use There are several ways to implement this program. One way is simply for a teacher to duplicate a sufficient number of the daily sheets for the students and cut them apart to provide each day's activity strip. Another idea is to use a diary approach. Encourage students to keep a diary by writing each answer in their notebooks. You may choose to complete the daily exercises with the entire class or have students work individually or cooperatively with each task.
Revision can occur at any time during the writing process.
