Welcome to Reading 7, Rotation 2

Announcements and Reminders:  For this reading class you will need these items each day: Bring your own pencils and pens every day. I will have some available to loan, but you should return them at the end of class, and should only rarely need to borrow. Bring lined paper. For every class, bring a book to read during Independent Reading. This will be something YOU want to read! You'll receive more information about how to select books. This rotation has normally focused on reading the Internet for Learning.  We will still do some with that, but due to lack of availability of computer labs, this time we will work with a variety of reading strategies and skills.

Today’s Agenda: Find your seat on the seating chart at the front or back of the room. Individual Reading and Fill out your Reading Log Partner Fluency Practice  Plan, Notice, Adapt Just for fun!  Julian Smith -- "I'm Readin' a Book!" Metacognition! Reading Strategy #1    Metacognition: Noticing your own thinking.   IAMNOWHERE! What distracts you?  What keeps you from focusing on the thing you are supposed to be reading?  Do you pay attention? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJG698U2Mvo You can choose to focus on one thing, and let others not distract you. What do you do when you've been distracted and realize you haven't really been reading -- then what if you're just not getting it?   Click on this link to progress through the series of posts -- one linked from the other, then came back here by clicking on the Home tab above. 1.
