Building a Strong Foundation by Jennifer Gardner https://padlet.com/MMJH118/5nf5edqo4yqurhzj The goal of 6th grade ELA is to move from being a surface reader to being an in depth reader. This means not just reading the words on the page, but understanding the deeper meaning within. Authors write to teach, to share life lessons, to make you laugh, to share an opinion, to make you reconsider your opinion, and so many more reasons. en-us 2023-07-10 11:46:19 UTC 2025-10-09 15:40:40 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9f1.png Text Evidence: MMJH118 https://padlet.com/MMJH118/5nf5edqo4yqurhzj/wish/833720994 Cookies.  Are they good or bad?

  3. Determine what action the words require of you, step by step if necessary.
  4. Take the necessary action.
