2) Current Event Quickwrite
3) Reader's Theater

Homework
1) Continue C.E.Q (current event quickwrite)
2) Type and print R.A

The class started with the reading aloud of our three poems. After going over the agenda, Ms. Witham explained to us Reader's Theater, which was an activity involving reading and explaining a selected part of the book I Am Malala to the class. We spent some time choosing in our groups which part we would read, which had to connect to a character, conflict, or theme. Somewhere in the middle of that, two people came in to check if we had our textbooks, so we got 30 seconds of a break.

After reading through three parts of the book, we added a PEELL (Point Evidence Explanation Language and Link) for Malala and a current event quickwrite to our journal. Ms. Witham explained it to us, and it was left for homework.
