Monday, Monday: Active reading strategy review

I hope all of you had a restful weekend. Be sure you're getting good sleep because it seems that a cold is going around...

Here's the news from Humanities class:
Today, we heard the last of the culture projects. Students practiced utilizing all of the active reading strategies that we have studied (predicting, questioning, visualizing, connecting and evaluating) by reading a chapter from Al Capone Does My Shirts and by completing the Active Reading Strategies practice sheet. We will go over the Active Reading practice tomorrow and students will have a test on their application of these strategies on Wednesday.

HOMEWORK: Students should tally all of the pages that they have read for the week and come to class with that number of pages read tomorrow. Then, students should select a weekly reading response question and respond in half a page or more to this question, using their independent reading book. Students should also study their SUPER root words for the quiz tomorrow.
