Good job in class today. In the computer lab we explored wordia and worked on speed reading with spreeder. We also did some online listening and reading exercises, and practiced scanning for ideas.Our theme for the day was good health (including mental health!)
In class we read some more and talked more about "traffic signs" in reading....everyone is becoming more skillful at analyzing and preparing to read so that more information is understood and retained.
NOTE: HOWEVER is talking about a NEW idea: I like tomatoes. However, I don't like ketchup. (SURPRISE! I like A, but not B)
THEREFORE refers to the previous sentence: I like tomatoes. therefore I like ketchup. (OBVIOUSLY! I like A, so I like B too.)
This week's homework:
1. Do the take-home handout on the Delaney Sisters. Make sure to do the pre-reading questions BEFORE you read.
2. Do the take-home handout on prefixes.
3. QUIA: Do the two reading practice exercises for week five. Make sure to sign in with your username ane password so that I can see your progress!
