Announcements and Reminders:                                                                   If you didn't yet hand in the strategies preassessment and the interest inventory, finish those and hand them in to the top wire basket. If you didn't finish and hand in the computer/internet use paper (blue), finish it and hand it in.  Also hand in your notes on the CRAAP presentation. If you received a poor score, add to it and hand it in again.   Use this link if needed: Mrs. Jones -- Finding Trustworthy Sources. Happy Earth Day!

Targets for Today: I read for enjoyment, and add to a record of my reading. I can read aloud fluently. I can use the Internet safely and wisely, and research effectively.

Today’s  Agenda: 1. Individual Reading Time and fill out your reading log.       Be in your seats READING by the time the bell rings. 2. Partner Fluency -- still using Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout.  Fill out your graph. 3.  Work on your computer/internet packet using the ChromeBooks.      You will use the ChromeBook that matches your folder number.        NOTE:  The pages for your Internet/Computer packet are attached to the assignments      on Skyward,  in case you need to reprint any of them. http://afjh.alpineschools.org/ On the RESEARCH: Lewis and Clark page  -- http://allaboutexplorers.com/explorers/lewis-clark/    For the clues you list, these would NOT be counted:        It doesn't give an author. (It does!)        It is made by WordPress.  (That's okay.  It's the platform used to create the website.)        It isn't believable.  (That is what you are trying to prove with the specific crazy "facts.") You already have a couple of examples of what would be counted.   Notice people and things that would not have existed then. What else sounds crazy? http://kidshealth.org/en/kids/plagiarism.html http://www.sehinton.com/bio.html Scroll down using the bracket marks to the right. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/lewisandclark/ Go on to the next page using the numbers ABOVE the map as directed in your instructions. ************************************* On Pioneer Online Library (Now called Utah's Online Library)  At home, use the username and password provided.   At school you will not need to log in.)
