English 1 -- Today in class, students read for the first 20 minutes from their chosen reading books that were checked out last class period from the library. After reading, Mockingbird Newspaper groups got together to do peer revising and editing of their writing pieces. They also worked on formatting their papers so that all pieces from all group members will fit on the space provided. Next week, the groups will finish the project in class.
