We did the Packer Contest and I checked supplies. We reviewed the seating chart. Students completed reading On the Job for Editor-in-Chief (10), Meteorologist (18), Hurricane Specialist (24), Natural Hazards Planner (27) and Reporter (40). While reading these articles, students completed the worksheet On the Job--Expert Tasks Q & A. Students who finished early read their RIF materials. I checked to make sure students completed this assignment. We watched Brainpop--Weather and completed the online review. Students read Hurricane Andrew's Windy Rain of Terror. I then introduced and modeled how to track a hurricane. Students tracked days 4-7 and days 8-13 of a hurricane and began answering Tracking a Hurricane Questions in the Hurricane Packet. Students will complete this activity at the beginning of the next class.
Content Reading Strategies Used In Class Today
- Set a Purpose/Predict

- Learn/Understand unknown words or concepts.
- Monitor/Clarify/Infer
- Create mental images to help you understand what you're reading.
- Create graphic aids to assist in understanding.
- Evaluate
- Ask yourself: What did I read? Do I understand what I've read? Do I agree or disagree with it? Am I learning what I wanted or needed to know?
- Check the blog daily and complete any tasks that are added.
- Bring all supplies to class.
All extra credit assignments are optional.
