Do you know how all the reading skills/strategies we learn in class help you as a reader?  Do you really know why we work in small writing groups daily?   Answer these two questions for me:  How does knowing about a character’s traits help you as a reader?  How does knowing what a simile is and how to use it help you as a writer?  

I can’t wait to hear your responses!
