Today we:
1. practiced vocab/grammar
2. worked together to brainstorm topics we would like to discuss in our socratic seminar -- list of topics generated
3. got into our lit circle groups, shared which book we had chosen and why and generated our own reading schedule -- trying for 200 pages per week in preparation for college expectations
4. discussed the reading “The Case for Short Words,” wrote our own one-syllable paragraphs and then looked at examples of jargon
