No computer lab today.

Self-Starter:  Quiet reading time and fill out reading log.

Today's focus reading strategy:

Using  External Text Features  

External Text Features are helps that aren’t just the main body of writing.  They include headings, subheadings, pictures, captions, bolded words, graphs, charts, tables of contents, sidebars, annotations, italics, etc.

What external text features do you find at
