Keep it in your folder.   Here is the rest of the rotation: Today:  March 28: Continue to Study Mind Map/other Strategies March 30: Review for test/Finish Mind Map, consider other strategies April 1:  Mind Map Due/Take Mind Map Test on the Lewis and Clark Expedition [Happy Spring Break!] April 12:  Making inferences and other strategies. April 14:  Readathon!  April 14, 2016 -- Bring reading materials, a pillow to sit on, and treats if you wish!

Targets for Today: I read for enjoyment, and add to a record of my reading. I can read aloud fluently. I will understand better how to use skills and strategies to improve my ability to read effectively.

Today’s  Agenda: 1.   Pick up your BICUM brochure 2. Individual Reading and fill out your reading log       (More San Diego Quick Testing -- A4?)  3. Partner Fluency Practice and fill out your graph  --San Diego and Partners   Find the passage number in the upper right hand corner of the page.  4.  More  mind mapping  and remembering your facts about the Lewis and Clark Expedition. A3 -- Fill out the map more?    Facts for Your Mind Map More Mind Map Pictures See your BICUM Brochure for REDUCE -- Recognize patterns!    Pattern  What is it?   Example? comparison        contrast Comparison is showing similarities. Contrasting is showing differences. (Sometimes people use the word "compare" for showing both similarities and differences. We could compare what happened to Lewis and what happened to Clark after the expedition. Compare: Both became governors. Contrast:  Lewis died about three years after the expedition.  Clark lived until 1838, when he was 68 years old.  cause          effect What makes something else happen?  What things does something make happen?  Because Lewis and Clark took Sacajawea along -- many important items were saved when a boat tipped over, they had more variety in their diet because she showed them edible plants, they were able to trade for horses from the Shoshone tribe, partly because her brother was the chief. sequence        / time  order     /chronological  Events or steps are told in the order in which they happen. The World Book article tells the story mainly in chronological order.

On the back of the poem page, the article describes what items were sent back to Jefferson on the keelboat in April of 1805.  problem/ solution    tells about a problem and gives one or more possible solutions As they crossed the Rocky Mountains, they were starving.  One solution was to kill and eat a couple of the colts they had brought with them.  5.   A3 Inference Part 1       A4 Inference Part 2
