It was a very hot morning so we started by cooling down as we read our two poems. Shortly after that, we started something new in our notebooks, a Current Event Quickwrite. There are many things going on in our lives that we decided to write about, things such as bombings in NYC and NJ, Brangelina's divorce, Zika virus, etc. This Current Event Quickwrite went on the front of page 15 and could've been written in any form, I chose a poem but the rest of my group chose paragraphs. We also made sure to include a text connection from Malala or from any poem in our Quickwrites.

Let me say this, our class wasn't very brave today in sharing our quick writes but it was fine as Ms.Witham shared her own. Following this, we went back to Readers Theater and remembered the sections each group reserved. While we did this, we reviewed our sections and each group went up and read them.
