Step 1

As soon as a majority of the class finishes the reading and guided reading questions, we will begin a beefy summative! We'll do it in chunks!

Read the story and answer the guided reading questions. This is a graded formative! If you finished early, please silently read or work on iReady.

Over the next few weeks, work on the summative and refine each of the paragraphs.
