HOMEROOM: We had PE first thing this morning.
SPELLING: Finished spelling test, skill test and proofreading
READING: Today we examined different organizational designs of non-fiction readings according to the purpose of the particular read. In addition, we explored how reading rates change according to the purpose for reading a passage. With the second timing of the same reading passages students realized the difference between skimming over an article versus the scanning of the reading material.
As we leave the reading of non-fiction to reading fiction works, we discussed four different types of conflicts. Homework: Complete 2 examples of each type of conflict as discussed in class today. Due Wednesday.
