Today we discussed what people do to concentrate while they read.
We learned that EVERYBODY loses focus when they read and EVERYBODY has to re-read because they lost focus while reading.
Strategies to help this:
-ask yourself questions while you read
-use teacher-made questions to guide your reading
-most importantly, try to make pictures in your head while reading.
Students completed an in class assignment "Chrysalids Anticipatory Guide" and handed it in before class was over
HOMEWORK: Read and complete the "quiz" that I handed out last day . Students must read to p. 65 for next class (Thursday morning)
