Targets for Today: I can use strategies to reduce information and retain (remember it).

Today’s  Agenda: Today's Focus:  Reduce and Retain About Your Final Test: Review the CRAAP Test.  It will be on the final test. For your final test, you will use strategies from your BICUM Brochure as you read an article.  You will explain why you selected the strategies and how you used them with that particular article. 1. Quiet Individual Reading Time   Select a book to read and read quietly for about 20 minutes. Fill out your reading log.  Example   9-20-18  x "Grit" in Costco Magazine pp. 50-53.  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 9-20-18 9-20-18 Passage 618 618 Words Per Minute 143 (your own WPM) 153   (your own WPM) 3.

Can you verify it in more than one place? P = Purpose --  Why did they create this?  to inform or teach?  to persuade?                                 to sell?  to entertain?          How biased is it?
