Welcome and Needed Supplies
for those of you who were just in Mr. Gillis's class --
Welcome to Ms. Dorsey's Rotation for Seventh Grade Reading class!
Bring your own pens and pencils. It also helps to have your own lined paper. If you have a book you want to read or that you need to read for your English or another class, bring it to read during our individual reading time.

Activity 1. Individual Reading Time and Begin a New Reading Log
- On most class days we will have some quiet individual reading time at the beginning of class. Bring a book to read or borrow something from the teacher's shelves.
- Don't forget to fill out your reading log every time. It counts on your grade!
- If you're absent, or don't fill out your log, pick up a pink make-up sheet and do the homework.
Leave your reading log and fluency graph in your folder.
Getting acquainted with our classroom:
- Where do you turn things in?
- Where do we keep our folders?
- Where do we find the materials for fluency practice?
- Where could I find a book or magazine to read?
- Where can I find handouts in case I've been absent?
- What can I find on this blog?
2. Partner Fluency Practice
Each partner gets a page protector and a copy of the poem to read.
Put the poem into the page protector.
Fill out your new graph for each time you read.

Metacognition: Noticing your own thinking.
What distracts you? What keeps you from focusing on the thing you are supposed to be reading?
