We finished setting up our Interactive Student Notebooks (ISN) today. We also went over Read Theory expectations and how to navigate this site and check on our progress. Read Theory is a tool students can use to practice with informational text and question sets. It also allows for them to monitor their progress with their Lexile level. It is the expectation that every student passes 5 Read Theory quizzes every week. Since this is new and was introduced today, their first 5 quizzes will be due next Friday, September 14th. This can be done at home or in class when students are given time. We also were introduced to our first assignment today which is a One-Pager practice page that is title “All About Me” One-Pager. I will go over an example tomorrow on how to complete this and give you time to work on it in class. This will be due Tuesday, September 11.
Homework:
- Summer Learning Book talk is due September 27th! Be prepared to present with your finished book talk on this day!
