To avoid fines [and drooled-on shoes], return any classroom books you may have by May 15.]









Last time students handed in their Lewis and Clark Internet Worksheet and their Brochures.



Pick up your folder, make sure you have reading materials, and be seated.


Activity 1. Individual Reading Time and Fill in Your 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.


Activity 2. Partner Fluency Practice and fill out your fluency graph
Use the passage for today: #613 All That Glitters
Fill out the date, passage number, and your words per minute.



Activity 3. Continue Study Reading 

for the Lewis and Clark Expedition

Pairs  -- Reading the Article and  Creating a quiz.


1. Answer the questions for the first section of the article.
2. Read your own assigned section and write 5 quiz questions for it.
3. If you have extra time, finish reading and studying the rest of the packet



If you missed today, or were not on task:
Find the article on Pioneer Library:
Go to http://afjh.alpineschools.org/

Log into the Library with Pioneer and Discover.
Go to World Book, Student, and look up Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Activity 4.  Study-Viewing -- "Reading" a video to learn 

National Geographic: Lewis and Clark: Great Journey West 41 Minutes LONG
This is available on Netflix. 

Today:  Both classes to 8:47.




Prepare to focus: Do a SELF check.









Come with Questions.

     What would that have looked like?

     What was it like for them?  How did they feel about the journey?

     Other questions based on what you've learned so far or on things 

             you haven't learned so far.










Make Connections as you view --

     with what you've already learned

     with your own life and feelings 









Make Corrections in your thinking.

      I was thinking it would have been this way, but it was actually. . .









JOT  down a FEW notes.

       Use abbreviations, just a few words, date, etc. 

       Mostly absorb what you seeing and hearing. 










Use your own mind-speed to memorize.

       Repeat dates, places, other facts to yourself a couple of times.
