Targets for Today: I can recognize reliable sources online. I understand that a Google (or other search engine search) does not necessary rank site in order of reliability.  More likely, they are ranked by popularity. I have strategies that I can use to better understand (comprehend) and remember what I read.

Today’s  Agenda: 1.  Finish Search Practice from last time, ranking sites for reliability.  Finish Reading the Internet -- Searching               First thing, get out a chromebook if you haven't finished                      your Search Practice.                If you are done with all parts of that, read your choice of book.  2.  BICUM -- Add to your BICUM Brochure -- Inside Right Section: Add this today!   Inside    (Added earlier) Before Reading Complete a Self Check  Study Area  Emotions Level of  Difficulty Feeling physically  Preview 1.

A mall will be different from a school or a church or a home. Some texts are compare and contrast, some are sequence, some are cause and effect, some are central idea and support, and so on.  Writing the text is like building the mall or the school or the home.
