Homework tonight: read "The Periodic Table Expands Once Again" and answer the 4 Common Core questions.  Be sure to R.A.C.E. the answers!  
R = Restate the question;
A = Answer the question;
C = Cite evidence; and
E = Explain how the evidence that you cited supports your answer.
For this activity, check your work against the R.A.C.E. rubric to get your best possible result. No Fail areas are:
1) Restate the question - Remove the 'W' word and Question mark, move the verb (ex: are) so the statement makes sense; and then
       2)  Cite Evidence - signal that you're bringing in information from the text by starting your sentence with something like: "The text says...", "It says in paragraph __ that...", "Evidence includes....", "I know this because ......" "The author states.....", or "I read that......".
