Happy Thursday, People! 10/18/2012
CHECKLIST FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT!
Please line through items as your complete them.
When You Come In
1)     Please sign in.
2)     Please pick up your completed Prep Sheet #1 off the circle table.  You did THOUGHTFUL, COMPETENT WORK on these, people!  I’m proud of you!  J 
3)     Grab your books!  If you are sharing it with someone, make sure you have a sticky note with your name on it sticking out of the front cover!
4)     Get out your FLUENCY BALLOT—the page with the bats!

Fluency Final Prep, Rehearsal #1
1)     Get a copy of the ballot.
2)     Review it with me, and fill out the top part.
3)     Get with your partner, and rehearse Book #1 with him/her.  (Partner, you MUST time the person read, and write the time in the upper right corner of the rubric.)
a.     Your grade today comes from the thoughtful, detailed comments you make on each other’s papers.
b.     Be honest.  Don’t give each other “4”s.  What are the odds you perform your book perfectly on the first aloud attempt?  You’ll help your partner more by giving honest, constructive criticism than you will by saying, “You’re perfect! Don’t change a thing!”
c.     You have to be stellar if you leave the room to prep--I cannot stress this enough.  My colleagues have graciously allowed us to ENROACH on their space.  My super-respectful at all time, say “Please” and “Thank You”, and be on task!
4)     Partner Assignments
5)     Room Assignments

After You Rehearse Book #1
1)     Put your completed rehearsal in the drawer after each performance!
2)     Complete the prepping (Prep Sheet #2) over Book #2, then put it in the folder on the circle table.

Homework—due when you come to class tomorrow, in the drawer for me to check
