Tomorrow’s SOTD: JP & Jared
Class had lengthy discussion on “day books,” comparing them to our InterActive Reader that we will use for a few short stories. Mrs. Hartwig discussed her goal of using them as purely a tool to interact individually with the text, emphasizing that no interactions will be incorrect because each reader’s experiences and reactions are different.
