5. Fridays are not a time to work on things for another class.  You are being productive in English class.  Please stay on task.  
6. This week I will also let you complete any of the things that you need to complete on my blog to get caught up.  

Please note: Fridays are not a time to work on things for another class.  You need to be productive for English class.  Please stay on task.  This is NOT a free day.  This a chance for you to do what you enjoy the most with regards to this class: reading, writing, or vocabulary development.

The more you write the better writer you will become.

The more you read the better reader you will become.

You have to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
