Announcements and Reminders:                           Pull out your book!! Remember to turn in any late or revised work by tomorrow, October 19! If you were given reading make-up homework to do, it was due today, but you may still drop by and hand it in to your class wire basket tomorrow.

Targets for Today: I can conduct a SELF reading check. I can preview the things I read.

Today’s  Agenda: Silent reading time. Fill out your reading logs! Partner Fluency time! Last time we talked about doing a SELF check before reading. What does SELF stand for? Let's see if we can really use this to help make our reading better. Everyone pull out a blank piece of paper! On that paper, write out an example of each: Study area (where/when they are reading) Emotion (how the readers feels inside) Level of difficulty (give an example of what they are reading) Feeling (how the reader feels physically) I'll ask for 12 volunteers, and they will write their examples on the board. Now here is the good part!  We'll roll a die and select a random reading situation. Using that situation, write the answers to these questions on your paper.  Will this reading experience be easy or difficult? Why? What could the reader do to make their reading go better? We'll talk about it, and roll again!  Good review! Now let's learn some more Pre-Reading Strategies. These will go on the bottom half of the column that you started last time. (The inside of the brochure, the left side) Add these strategies: Let's watch a movie preview together. Think about this question: Why do producers make movie previews? We can do reading previews before we read! Let's try some of that!  What do we notice as you preview these pages? Will knowing that help you when you start to read? How will it help you? How about this one? Preview it with your partner.  -What titles, bolded words, italicized words, pictures, and other details do you see?  --How will this help your reading? We do this with leisure reading as well!  Now you're going to try! Get ready for a Previewing the Chapter activity that you'll do all on your own.

If You Were Absent: Pick up a pink sheet to make up your silent reading. Pick up a Previewing the Chapter worksheet and article and complete that.
