Today is the day you will share your PowerPoints in class.  You will have about ten minutes to set up, then your PowerPoints will be viewed and receive a final grade.  You will receive a grade for viewing, recording, and voting on classmates' presentations.

The last day to hand in late PowerPoints is November 15.

Start looking forward to the Read-a-Thon in class on November 12 -- the last day of this rotation.

November 12:   Read-a-thon -- Bring something to read, a treat if you wish, and a pillow to sit on if you'd like to.

4. If you still don't get it, try reading ahead a bit

Try reading ahead.  Sometimes it will make sense if you read the entire sentence or paragraph.

Sometimes the author just hasn't finished saying what he or she is trying to explain, so you need to read on.
