Targets for this Rotation

You will learn a set of reading strategies that you can apply -- especially to the reading you do to learn. 
You will be able to tell about and use strategies for 
Before Reading,
During Reading,
and 
After Reading. 
You will apply these strategies to reading and learning from various texts, 
                                  including texts you read on the internet. 

By the end of his rotation, you will know and apply
the CRAAP Test for Reliability and Usefulness of sources,

and other strategies.

You will apply strategies that we learn to memorize assigned material. 

You will improve your reading fluency -- and graph your improvement.

The best way to improve your reading

Neither Group did the Mnemonic-a-Day.
5.  A mnemonic a day keeps the mind in play.
A3 needs Part 1 -- A4 practice with appointment partners
The Bill of Rights  6-10    -- Amendments to the Constitution of the United States

6.   Six fingers  -- Hold out five, point at your wrist with the sixth, as if you are wearing a watch. 
-- the right to a speedy trial














7.  Hold up seven fingers and think of lucky seven!   What luck!  You get a trial by jury instead of having just a judge decide.

     Imagine seven men in suits.  You have the right to a trial by jury in when you are suing or being sued.








8.  Use your thumb and three fingers to form a "handcuff" around your opposite wrist -- with the five fingers on that hand out flat.  Now, picture a pair of handcuffs forming a letter eight.
The eighth amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment and excessive bail -- like eight million dollars!
Imagine 8 million dollars! 
 





9.   Hold up nine fingers.  Pat your own chest.
The German "Nein"  means "No!" 
Don't take away my rights.
The government can't talk away individual rights just because they aren't listed in the constitution.








10.  Hold up ten fingers.  Stop!  Just Stop.  "Stop" and "states"  both begin with "ST."
The government can't take away a state's rights.
