Here is a sample of a project completed by one of our 7th grade students.

This week, we learned a new AVID strategy called Say-Do-Mean.  In this activity, we use words from the text as evidence to identify examples of figurative language from various picture books.  Here are a few samples of the students' collaborative work.

Many of you have chosen to read eTexts and other electronic books online with your devices or on the computer during CLEAR time.  Have you found a specific app or website that's great for reading books online?  In the comments below, write the name of the app or website.  Tell a little about how you discovered it and why you like to use it (or why you don't!).  Finally, be sure to let us know how we can access the resource.
