On September 12, 2013, Mr. Verlin's class at South Philadelphia High School focused on the foundational concepts of Quotes, Notes, and Thoughts (QNTs) as essential tools for reading comprehension. Students initiated their portfolios and practiced defining QNTs to enhance their understanding of texts. The lesson included guided and independent practice with specific readings, allowing students to reflect on their thoughts and feelings. Homework tasks involved crafting a letter to the editor, reinforcing their analytical skills for project credit.
