Welcome to Semester 1, Rotation 3 of Reading 7.
If you were just in Ms. Dorsey's rotation,
look for Mrs. Fugal in Room 204.








Today's Agenda: In the Classroom
  • Find your assigned seat. 
  • If they are available, pick up your folder from the black crate for your class at the back of the classroom.
  • Pick up (from the front) 
    •      a reading log
    •      a fluency graph




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.






    Notice the portion of the whiteboard for Reading 7.

      Just for fun!  Julian Smith -- "I'm Readin' a Book!" 

      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!   
        • Fill out every part of the line for each day: date, type of material read, title, something about what you read, minutes read.

      •     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.
