Targets for Today: As  I read for learning, I can I can use strategies to understand and remember the material I need to know. I can show what I know about using strategies when I read.

Today’s  Agenda: 1.   Finish filling in the peg system for the Bill of Rights.   Learning a peg system for memorizing The Bill of Rights (and anything else that comes in sets of ten or less).   If you were not here last time, pick up a divided and numbered page and write in the following words in the spaces to match the numbers.  1.    Bun 2.    Shoe 3.    Tree 4.    Door 5.    Hive 6.    Sticks 7.    Heaven 8.    Gate 9.    Line 10.  Hen  Peg System for Memorizing The Bill of Rights   We will finish filling in peg system for the Bill of Rights. ________________ 2.  Practice using your BICUM strategies with an article.              This is practice for the final test next time!   You may use your brochure today, but will not be able to use it next time.   You will hand in your BICUM brochure next time BEFORE you take the test.   For this practice, your study area is in your own bedroom.   Write your SELF Assessment based on that.  3.  If you have extra time,  take a few minutes to quietly practice the CRAAP Test, the First Ten Presidents, and the First Ten Amendments to the Constitution.   After that read, keep track of your reading time, and record it on your log.

If You Were Absent: See me to arrange a time to make-up this work. Prepare for the test next time.  Study your BICUM Brochure and  the CRAAP Test, the First Ten Presidents, and the First Ten Amendments to the Constitution.   This is what we did today:   fake-news-fact-checker-24357-article_quiz_and_answers.pdf BICUM Practice with an Article.docx
