Monday and Tuesday 9/15-16

We've finished our summer reading presentations, and we're moving into the Reading Self and Society unit. We'll be looking at our own experiences with reading and exploring why we read and how we think about what we read.

In the next couple of weeks you will need to become familiar with following academic terms and concepts:

Schema
Meta-cognition
Monitor
Comprehension
Comprehend
Excerpt
Etc.
Literate
Illiterate
Summarize
Fluency
Inference
Infer
Visualize

We're developing a common language around reading which will help us leap into the next step: literary analysis.
