1. Get out your Signposts handout.
2. Get out your Context and Commentary work.
3. Get out your BR/Calendar from August/September so that I can give you EC.
4. Get out your parent letter home about Scholastic so that I can give you EC (if you have it signed).
5. Get out your copy of The Outsiders.

In about half an hour, in your groups, I should see that:
1. Every student has both sides of his/her Context and Commentary work COMPLETED.
2. Groups are ready to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their writing.

No, we aren't going to the computer lab today. We need more practice before we start typing.
