Welcome to the blog version of your Reader's Notebook! I'll occasionally have you answer questions on this blog so that you can read classmates' responses, as well as respond to each other.
Here is a quick tutorial for you:
1. Read my blog post. It will always be called "Homework...and then whatever the due date is"
2. Write your response in the "Comment" section. Make sure to include your name and section!
3. The blog makes you name yourself before you can publish your comment. There is a menu to choose from. Choose "Anonymous."
4. Click on "Publish."
5. You can also respond to a classmate's comment by clicking on "Reply."
YOUR HOMEWORK:
Now that you're in 4th grade, you encounter about 10,000 new words in your reading every year. Most of them are BIG words, meaning they are made up of 7 or more letters.*
What is one strategy you've used lately to figure out an unfamiliar BIG word?
