FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH DAILY OPENER

Read the following passage and find the elaboration strategies (examples and description)

I can select my favorite foods for lunch everyday. I sometimes pick cheesy nachos with the melted cheese sauce smothered over the hot crispy chips. If I don’t want anything that greasy, like nachos or pizza, I can choose a “made-for-me” salad. This means I get to choose what goes on it and my favorite veggies, including olives, peppers, and tomatoes. The best thing is I can pick a food that fits my attitude that day.

Turn in your DAILY OPENER. Make sure your heading and page set-up is complete and you have your three worksheets attached.
