Targets for Today: I can read a variety of materials for an extended period of time. I can improve my reading fluently. I can better understand what fake news is and how to avoid it.   I can use metacognition to increase my effectiveness as I read and study. I know strategies I can use to improve my reading comprehension.

Today’s  Agenda: 1. Quiet Individual Reading Time   Select a book to read and read quietly for about 20 minutes. (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   9-10-18  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. 2. Partner Fluency Practice.        Participate appropriately as both reader and listener.       Fill out your fluency graph for each time you read.  Example Date 9-10-18 9-10-18 Passage 618 618 Words Per Minute 143 (your own WPM) 153   (your own WPM) 3.  A4  will take the CRAAP Test Test 1. All will  finish filling out the answers to your questions about the Fake News articles and  take an individual quiz. 4.  More BICUM (Be in Control, Use Metacognition.)   Your Brochure: Inside  This is what you have so far on the inside. 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.

Yes, I do  understand. Mark and highlight  text. Read to end of study block.  No, I don't  understand Use fix-up strategies: See the back of this brochure! After Reading -- #1 Alignment?  (This goes with visualizing, but is a bit different.) What was your alignment as you read your book at the beginning of class?  Is it like watching a movie or a TV show? Is it as if you are the main character? Is it as if you are standing next to the main character? Are you somewhere else in the scene?  Are you seeing the action from above?   Talking with the Author or Text         (example: article about school uniforms)        What would you say if you could              speak directly to the author?

If You Were Absent: See above.  You can find the reading  and fluency 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
