Your reaction to what you read, the thoughts in your head, are your response. You will be asked to respond to what you read in many ways this year. One method of responding will be written responses. Practice sharing your responses this week. Choose one of the articles below to read. Click the link to get to the article. Next, write down your thoughts about the article. Then, go to the discussion tab for this page. Pick the conversation about an article you read and share your response there. I encourage you to read all the articles and see which one you have the strongest thoughts about. This will make it easier for you to write your response. Reading the articles counts as part of your nightly reading. Your response is due Friday, October 12, 2012. Articles to choose from: "Should Big Bird Still Get Funds From The Government?" From TweenTribune "Candidates Face Off at First Debate" From Scholastic News  "The Final Vote" From Time for Kids  Remember to go back to the top of the page, click the discussion pin, find the conversation you want to join, and add your response.  ***Before clicking "post" remember to reread your work checking spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
