Announcements and Reminders:      Hand in your disclosure document and strategies pre-assessment if you haven't yet. If you were absent last time, see me about taking the RI test.

Targets for Today: Students will spend time reading their choice of materials. Students will practice pre-reading and reading strategies.  Student will learn about recognizing useful and reliable sources.

Today’s  Agenda: 1. Previewing Practice              Reading to learn about finding useful and reliable sources a. Pick up one article from the front desk with the BICUM Previewing page. Complete the Preview for it, then b. Pick up the second article from Ms. Dorsey with another Previewing page, and complete the preview for it. c.  When you finish both, and hand in the papers, go ahead and read your own book for INDIVIDUAL READING TIME.  (Notice how long you get to read and record it on your log.) We used these articles: https://newsela.com/articles/fake-news-history-teachers/id/25299/ https://newsela.com/articles/fake-news-fact-checker/id/24357/ This is the worksheet to go with the articles: Previewing Informational Writing .docx 3. We will go to the Media Center for a presentation on a way to check for useful and reliable sources.  Take a pencil or pen.  Take your backpack since we will not return to class. You will be tested later on what the letters in the CRAAP test stand for, so pay close attention.   If you have the opportunity to take notes, do it!

If You Were Absent: See above. Study this and be able to remember what each of the letters in the CRAAP Test stands for: The CRAAP Test for Finding Trustworthy Sources
