Writing Lesson (Maroon Day): 1. Use your best writing skills to proofread and revise your responses to yesterday's assignment, "Why Leaves Turn Color in the Fall." I see several responses that need more work. You do not need to share the document again since I will be able to see the changes you make today. I will use those changes to count you as present in class today.
2. Check your email for your invitation to tomorrow's Google Meet class. If you have not responded yet, scroll down to the question "Going?" and choose "Yes." You will receive one more reminder email 10-15 minutes before the meeting. You will need to use the "Join with Google Meet" link. 3. Use today's class period to continue reading your nonfiction book for Independent Reading Project #3. Prepare a short book talk (no more than two minutes) for tomorrow's Google Meet class. You will need to show us the physical book and share the following. (Worth 10 points.)
