Re-visiting Reading Strategies (and Independent Reading Projects)

Here's today's lesson in the absence of a guest teacher ...

Aim: How do we use reading strategies to understand the film or the memoir? 

Quick Write: Write a DOK level 3 or 4 question about Diving Bell.

Your mission today is to answer your question by reading, watching or researching. By the end of class, put the answer to your question into a reflection.

Reminder: Independent reading projects are due.  You should get started on this because there will be at least one other final challenge (project) for this course in addition to that.

What's Due

• Independent Reading Projects
• Lesson, including written lesson plan and blog post
• Art Cultural Exhibition blog post
• Mind Maps
• Cartoons
• Argument Essays (or critical lens for those taking the ELA Regents)
• Daily Blog Postings

Remember independent reading books? Here's a list of suggestions. However, other ideas are encouraged. Just run them past me.
