At this point, you have your new vocab word ready to begin the second round of vocab experts tomorrow, you should have completed or made a solid dent in highlighting all the verbs on your prompt (yep, it's amazing a highlighter can reveal the redundancy and simplicity of verb choices), and continued working on or studying your toolbox.
Since meetings took up the majority of the hour and are not completed in any of the classes, we will finish those tomorrow and then return to some i.d. of devices, close reading for purpose and strategies, and eventually go into a group close read next week.
P.S If you need additional close reading and strategy identification, the best practice is to take an article a day from online (serious articles, goofy articles) and look for patterns of diction, syntax, and other strategies. As you merge more into a Langer, you will start noticing strategies in everything your read, so you might as well start with something you enjoy or have interest in before all the more serious prompts arrive.
