You will have to turn in by the end of Friday's class a reflection piece on 'what you have learned so far in RLA.  This piece will be graded on your claim and the evidence that you use to support your claim. (More on this on Wed.) You will be given time this week to work on this piece in class. I am telling you in advance, so you have time this week to start collecting notes on:
1) What you have learned
2) How can you prove that you have learned it

Also be thinking: What format do you want to use to present your learning. e.g. a letter, a news broadcast, a lyric poem, others?
