Announcements and Reminders:                            You may still hand in your Disclosure Signatures with the assessment form on the back filled out.  In fact, please do.  They are late now, but will still receive most of the points.   If you have it, hand it in to your class top wire basket.  Pick up your folder from the black crate, and take out or find a book to read. School Pictures will be         on September 6/7.    You should have received your picture order packets  in your A2 class.

Targets for Today: I can check online (and other) sources for usefulness and reliability. I can read a variety of materials for an extended period of time. I can improve my reading fluently.

Today’s  Agenda: 1.  "Fieldtrip" to the Media Center for a Presentation on finding useful and reliable information.             Remember to go quietly.              Do not run.            Bring a pencil, but leave your backpacks behind. You will be tested later on what each letter of the CRAAP test stands for, and what it means. 2.  Quiet Individual Reading Time   Select a book to read and read quietly for about 20 minutes. A3 did a bit of reading and took the CRAAP Test Test 1. A4 did 15 minutes reading, received new fluency passages, did partner fluency, and DID NOT take the CRAAP Test Test 1. (Ms. Dorsey will continue administering the San Diego Quick Test of reading skills to students -- one at a time.)   Fill out your reading log.  Example   9-6-18  x "Grit" in Costco Magazine pp. 46-49.  Anyone can choose to develop grit which adds endurance to enthusiasm. 20  If you're absent, or were off-task during reading time, or didn't fill out your log, pick up a pink make-up sheet and do the homework.  3. If time, partner fluency practice.        Participate appropriately as both reader and listener.       Fill out your fluency graph for each time you read.  Example Date 9-6-18 9-6-18 Passage 102 102 Words Per Minute 143 153

If You Were Absent:  See above.  You can find the make-up work in the classroom, or print your own.  Reading Log Make-Up Log 2018.doc Mammals 6.docx Make-Up Fluency Graph for Partner Reading.doc  See below for information about the CRAAP Test.
