Today Hudson finished proofreading his how-to essay. He used a checklist to check the essay for the following items: effective beginning, middle and end; smooth flow from one idea to the next; strong controlling idea that stays on topic; supporting details and examples; precise and vivid language; clear and varied sentences; correct grammar, punctuation, capitalization and spelling.

Hudson completed a short-response and reading comprehension assignment from commonlit.org. The article was "The Sit-In Movement." He read the article, answering guiding questions throughout. He completed assessment questions and a summary of the article that contained a topic sentence and examples supporting the main idea. He completed discussion questions based on the article, which included writing a response to the questions, "How do people create change? What was required of civil rights activists in order to achieve their goals?" Hudson cited supporting textual evidence for his answers to these questions.
