Today Sam started class summarizing what was read yesterday and deciding that she would record our read aloud in Arabic on her iPad. She completed 12 recall questions quickly aloud then we reviewed active reading strategies on the white board and realized that the prediction factor is moot as she has already read Hoot, so we will focus more on inferring meaning. Next, we team-read through the end of chapter 2. At the end, she independently completed five recall/check questions, questioned the author ("Why did they include the big girl?"), and connected with the text ("people being mean to me") then we began chapter 3 and when class ended the remainder of chapter 3 was assigned for homework.
