Announcements and Reminder for Friday, March 16, 2018:              Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Targets for Today: I can read quietly for an extended time -- hopefully enjoying it!  I can improve my fluency by better understanding my own reading habits, and by practicing!   I can learn about improving my reading by using metacognition.  predicting and inferring

Today’s  Agenda for Friday, March 16, 2018: 1. Pick up your folder from the black crate, find a book to read, and take your seat.        2. Individual Reading and Filling out the Reading Log 3. Partner fluency practice 3.    Practice Before Reading and Active Reading  A3 needs to do the inferencing examples.   I believe we did the first one. A4 finished. Before Reading Complete a Self Check  Study Area  Emotions Level of  Difficulty Feeling physically  Preview 1. Read the title. Ask: What do I know  about this subject? 2. Read the first  couple of sentences  and the last couple  of sentences. 3. Look for bold or  italicized print. 4. Look at charts,  maps, graphs,  diagrams. 5. Ask yourself: Is this a useful  and reliable  source?" You could use the CRAAP Test. * 6. Select or  Create Questions 7. Set Study Length 8.

Practice with an Article Before Reading Strategies  Active Strategies  Highlighting Highlighting   Helpful Not helpful Pacing  yourself with a pencil --  or with your finger --  1.  Place your pencil on the first line of print about one inch from the beginning of the material. 2.  Move it across a line to about 1 inch before the right edge of the print. 3. Swing back to the next line 1.2 t0 1 inch from the left edge. 4. Again, move across the page to 1/2 to 1 inch before the end of the line.  It works best with your finger! Prediction is about what is to come. Inference is about what is.  (reading between the lines,  What is the author saying without directly stating it?) Words you need to know:  Imply =      to suggest Infer =       to conclude Kahoot for Inference: https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/978adaa8-5737-49f5-bea7-73ff7ffda370
