iWrite 11/28/12: Pick a
thought starter and write like crazy:
I’m looking forward to…
I don’t like it when…
My favorite thing to do after school...
If I had to choose, I'd choose a planet with no peanut butter over a planet with no chocolate...
iRead: When you feel like you’re done with your iWrite, use the remainder of
this time to read your Book #3. If you’re finished with your Book #3, read your
Book #4 or The Giver. Do not write “iWrite”
on your reading log. You have enough time to read after you write.
