These activities will take place in class, and some of the exploration can be done as homework. Students will work on this for two weeks during the morning reading block. Students must meet all standards as explained to them by being on task and doing their best to learn independently as well as asking for and finding help. Students will fill out an evaluation form with their partner, in writing, listing things that went well, what were their problem areas, how they worked together, if they used technology, and what they learned from their work. This process will be competed within a few weeks before our school has its Passports to Literature week.
