Today students viewed and took notes on a Powerpoint about using informal (contextual) citations (signal words), and creating a Works Cited list. These are skills needed for creating the book portfolio. If you were absent, get the notes from a friend in class. These will be looked for in your next binder check (under reading with the rest of your portfolio materials).
This is some of the information:
For your Works Cited list, look for and include in your entry any of this information you can find about an Internet source.
* Author and/or editor names
* Title of project, book, article
* Name of the database
* Any version numbers available
* Date of version, revision, or posting
* Publisher information (who put this on
the Internet?
* Date you accessed the material
* Electronic address, printed between
carets ([<, >]).
We read from Words By Heart.
A1 to page 88
A2 to page 108
A3 to page 84 ?
A4 to page 88?
We also went into the computer lab and spent time retaking the SRI (Scholastic Reading Inventory). We are using the results to monitor student reading ability and determine student needs.
