Welcome and Needed Supplies
for those of you who were just in Mr. Gillis's class --
Welcome to Ms. Dorsey's Rotation for Seventh Grade Reading class!
Bring your own pens and pencils. It also helps to have your own lined paper. If you have a book you want to read or that you need to read for your English or another class, bring it to read during our individual reading time.
Notice the portion of the whiteboard for Reading 7.
Just for fun! Julian Smith -- "I'm Readin' a Book!"
Activity 1. Individual Reading Time and Begin a New Reading Log
- On most class days we will have some quiet individual reading time at the beginning of class. Bring a book to read or borrow something from the teacher's shelves.
- Don't forget to fill out your reading log every time. It counts on your grade!
- Fill out every part of the line for each day: date, type of material read, title, something about what you read, minutes read.
