Copy the Homework in your Planners:
Due Friday 2/10/12: The [|Quarter 2 reflection]under the Reading section on your googlesite. Be ready to present next week! Here are some helpful tips: 1. **Use complete sentences!** For example: "Scan for Vocabulary" is not a complete sentence. 2. **Use part of the question in your answer, so we will know what you are talking about. Also, explain your answer, so we will understand.** For example: "The strategy that helped me the most was the reading strategy "Marking the Text" because when I circled the key terms and underlined the author's claims, it became much easier for me to understand the main point of each paragraph. 3. **Follow the rules for capitalization!** For example, the word English is always capitalized because it is a proper noun: the name of a language.  4. **Check your answers for spelling and grammar mistakes.** You know the rules! If you do not check your work, other teachers will think you do not know the rules! For example, spell strategy correctly because it is right in front of you in the questions you are reading!  5. **Really think about what you are saying!** For example, if I say a strategy didn't help me, maybe I am not using it correctly or maybe I am lazy and don't like doing the extra work. For example, if I say "Scan for Vocabulary" didn't help me, does reading without knowing the words help me more?
