September 12, 2011

Early-out Monday


1. Pick up book (Regarding the Fountain) and your folder. We are on page 76.


2. Summarizing:  More SWBS

Somebody wanted  (or was) . . . . .  but. . . . so. . . . 


Elements of Literature, page 629 "Oni and the Great Bird"
Read and fill in an SWBS for the story.


3. Summarizing 2:  Try the SWBS on a newspaper story chosen by Ms. D.
4. Summarizing 3:  Try out the summarizing strategy-- identifying repeated words (Words such as "a, an, the, of"  don't count!)


5. We did not hold individual Silent Reading time or filling out the reading log.

Next time,  why summarize?  Because it's easier than winterizing! Really, we will discuss why summarizing can make your life easier, and will learn more about strategies you can use to summarize what you read. 

If you were absent,  ask Ms. Dorsey for the SWBS materials, and for the make-up sheet for reading time!
