Today we took 10 minutes to read. Firm reminders were given to take post its. Be sure that you are taking the time to engage with your stories as you read. We then talked a little bit more about vocab strategy and about how the use of transitions makes any writing better.
We then began reading chapter 4. While reading I modeled how to slow down and check for understanding. Read a paragraph, take notes then move on or read a page, check for understanding take notes and move on.
HW: Students need to finish chapter 4 and take notes as they read. They may log their time reading if they take notes.
