Tuesday Oct 21st

A short, but very busy block.

Today we were in the library for our first SMART reading session.  We made preliminary connections, predictions and asked a few questions before moving into the text.

The article was split into 3 chunks and students listened and read for particular information each chunk. Students then had an opportunity to share with each other before sharing ideas with the whole group.  At the end of the article students had to do a quickwrite - a text to self connection about the article as a whole.

Today was a good practise session...as we will revisit SMART reading again.

Homework:  READ!!!
