Lesson Objectives - Students will make corrections for yesterday's Vocabulary Unit 16 quiz.  They will then meet with partners and small groups to find evidence that support the author's claim from yesterday's Close Reading story, "Much Too Young to Work so Hard."  They will individually complete a writing prompt based on their findings.
Homework - Students are to get their MP4 Interim Student Detail Reports signed by this Thursday.  They should also continue reading their book for the May RRS, due May 28th.
