Please continue reading, and marking up the reading we started in class about African Americans in Philadelphia. Remember, the strongest readers are doing 5-6 different things as they read. Whether you are asking questions, looking up a difficult word, re-reading a sentence that is particularly challenging, or simply restating a main idea in words that make sense to you...all of these things will help you understand what you are reading better, and also help you remember it MUCH longer!
Due Tomorrow, Tuesday
