2nd Block:  Comprehension Strategies/ACT Prep

• Day ELEVEN--Thursday, January 22nd, 2015

When You Come In Initial next to your name on my clipboard for attendance. Drop your phone in the phone hostage center.  Put your phone BEHIND your name card, please. Please get out these handouts: “Footbinding” Strategy Review

Strategy Practice:  Continuing and Finishing “Footbinding”

1. Get a copy of the strategies you can use when you read to UNDERSTAND/COMPREHEND more, and to REMEMBER/RECALL more effectively.
2. These strategies can be done in your head, or they can be done as annotations (or a mixture of both).
3. Today, we’re going to practice them as annotations while I do a read-aloud.
4. Today as I read, I’m going to stop, and I’m going to ask you to annotate using one of your reading strategies.  This will be a slow process today, but when you do it on your own, it will go more quickly.  Today is the training-wheels version.
5. Finish numbering this reading.  We are going to finish it today.

Pair-Work

1. Answer the questions (ten total) at the end of the reading by DISCUSSING them with your partner, and going to the text to find the answer.
2. To the left of each number, write down the PARAGRAPH where you found the answer, if applicable.
3. We will check this at 11:02.
4. CORRECT your answers as we go--it’s part of your daily grade today.  Thanks!
5. Make sure your name is on it, and put your name at the top.
