The first one is not graded, but you can check webgrader to see that it has been turned in. This week, the second reading letter is due by next Monday. Students should complete this in-class assignment in their spiral notebooks if possible. If you are curious what the goals are for this assignment, check the GLCE Short List link under Standards.
