ELA: Students will continue exploration of "Reading is Thinking". Students will pair up with a partner and share each others' thinking. Each partner will mark their own papers with their partner's thinking. Students will respond to Quick Write: While reading the excerpt from Out of My Mind, we learned the Melody is a child with Cerebral Palsy. People treat her differently because they think she doesn’t understand. Think of a difficult time you’ve experienced in your life. Describe your difficult time, and explain how you persevered. Who helped you during your difficult time?
