Today students created accounts for themselves at readtheory.org.. They have their unique user name and their password is Eagles 16 This site will give students reading at their level and adapts with them to suit their needs. Students are expected to practice for at least an hour a week ( checking in each Monday) and will earn points for their performance. Students can also earn bonus points when their reading level goes up. They and you will also be able to see their progress by clicking on the bar graph icon. While an hour is the requirement remember more practice will lead to more growth.
This week we will be researching the holocaust in order to gather background information before we read the play ” Diary of Anne Frank”. Students will be working in research teams and become their team’s expert in areas of their choosing. They will be graded on what they individually contribute to the group. Research will happen at home as well as school.
Friday marks the last day of the 2nd marking. Be sure you have finshed 1 book and written an exit ticket by wednesday. On Thursday you will write your literary reflection letter.
