Spies of Mississippi.....What Do You Think?

The purpose of the all-school-read in Exploratory is to build students' literacy skills. As we read the book Spies of Mississippi during class, you will build these skills by keeping a reading journal. In these journal pages, you will be drawing conclusions based on what you have read and any other knowledge or experiences that you have. You are learning to take what you know and what you have learned and put it together into a conclusion about what you are reading.

During this last part of the semester, our theme will be "respect." With each reading, you will be asked to draw conclusions about how respect and trust play a role in what you have read.

You are also to comment on what the current passage made you think about in general.  (How did it make you feel?  What images did it bring to your mind?  Do you think this could be possible in today's society?)  

To receive credit for participating in this activity you must;

1. Post your own thoughts and ideas

2. Comment on one of your peer's thoughts and ideas

Here are the Rules on how to write your own comment and how to respond to others:

1. If you have something nice to say, say it and give specifics.

2. If you have a criticism or disagreement, say it nicely. (we don't have to agree on everything but we do have to be civil)

3. End your comment with a relevant question.  That way an interesting conversation may begin to flow.
