Candy or Takis for anyone who completes a See Reader by the end of the period today!!!!

Please put your phones away now so that I do not take them from you!

Today you have 2 tasks to complete:

Task 1.  Find your SSR book that you were reading from last semester and write it down on your DRL for Friday with title, author and PAGE NUMBER (you can find this on your old DRL that I saved for you from last semester)

If you are brand new to the class-find an SSR book that interests you and write down the title and author for Friday on your DRL.

Task 2. Log in to Reading Plus-as you can see you do not have any assignments yet for this week.  Complete one See Reader for extra credit today.

If you are brand new to the class, you will be taking as assessment on Reading Plus to determine your reading level and what types of assignments you will be working on this semester.  Follow the directions below that will help you log on.

Welcome Back from Winter Break! Happy New Year and Let's Read Well in 2018!

Please turn your cell phones off and keep them out of sight for the remainder of class today and everyday this semester unless I give you specific permission to use them in class!

Please find a seat in a desk (not a computer station) toward the front of the room.

We will not start the Reading Plus Program until tomorrow in class.

Today I would like to explain a few changes that you can expect to see in our class for second semester.  

Changes to Reading Improvement for Spring Semester:

• You will have LESS assignments to complete each week in Reading Plus!
• We will be reading a class novel together in class on Mondays (Collaboration schedule) so no one will be working on computers on Mondays.
• You will be filling out a DRL on Mondays (for the class novel), Wednesdays (for your SSR book) and Fridays (for your SSR book) in class and turning them in every two weeks for points.

The first class novel that I we will be reading as a class is The Absolutely True Story of a Part Time Indian by Alexie Sherman.  This is considered somewhat of a graphic novel so it is filled with words, funny sketches and cartoon artwork that depicts what is going on in the text.

Summary of the plot:

This is about a boy who is trying to find out who he really is and what he is really capable of even though he comes from an environment where it is normal for people to get drunk, fight and disrespect one another. He learns that he has to leave his surroundings to find his true potential but he also learns that it is important to never forget where he came from or the traditions or people who shaped him into the person he really is.

Summary video Shmoop: Part Time Indian

Pass out DRL

Write down title, author and prediction and begin chapter one in class.

Get off to a beautiful start in class this year by reading tonight to an active listener on your Home Read Log.
