Objective: I can reflect on my reading and writing journey thus far in LA11 and add to my story for each. I can submit my best piece of writing to my class portfolio.
Agenda:

Entry Task: Get out a Chromebook and open your 2018 Classroom and our Classroom
Open your original Reading and Writing story.
- Re-read what you wrote and any comments from me (they may be in the classroom, rather than on the document--I was having technical difficulties at the time)
- Comment yourself at least once on both your writing and reading story. To do so, highlight a selection in what your originally wrote and press, click with two fingers and select comment. Include the date, and what you now think about what you wrote. You could also comment on my comment by clicking reply. If you believe either of your stories has changed, tell me! What happened or what could have happened that might have changed your story if nothing did.
- Thank you for taking the time to be reflective about your reading and writing experience!
Look back at your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd drafts and submit it to the My Perfected Writing assignment in the 2018 classroom WITH the teacher-comments and rubric. Review the comment at the bottom of the rubric and create a comment of your own reflecting on why you selected this piece to enter into your portfolio.
Exit Task: Double-check that you have submitted one of your writing options to the 2018 classroom and return your Chromebook to the cart.
