Fluency, Part I
1. What is PHRASING? What’s another word for it? Why is it vital to your fluency?
2. Review the FLUENCY rubric.
3. Check the last two exercises from the PHRASING sheet we did yesterday.
4. Put this paper in the FLUENCY section of your binder.
5. With the partner I’ve assigned you, complete Phrasing Worksheet #1, the following numbers: #1, #4, #5, #7, #10 (five minutes)
6. We’ll check these as a class, then turn them in.
Fluency, Part II
1. How important is EXPRESSION when you read? Why?
2. What text signals do we rely on when we read to help us use the correct EXPRESSION?
3. SUPER SIGNALS!
4. On the Looking for Alaska excerpt, you and your partner each circle all the SUPER SIGNALS you see.
5. When you finish circling all the SUPER SIGNALS, talk with your partner about HOW these signals would help you read this piece with the correct EXPRESSION.
6. We’ll have several people play the parts in this excerpt, and we’ll hear what correct EXPRESSION sounds like.
7. Make sure your name and date are at the top of your paper, then put it in the FLUENCY section of your binder.
8. Update our SUPER SIGNALS chart with the new SUPER SIGNALS we saw today.
