Learning Goal: I will use my inferencing skills so that I can practice making predictions about written text
1. 30 minutes of silent reading. 2. Individually: spend some time on a variety of news websites. (CBC, CNN, CTV, Toronto Star, BBC etc.) and find an article you think is interesting or would generate conversation with your peers. -> design a discussion question to stimulate conversation in class (you will want to make sure it is open ended so that people can share their thinking effectively) -> when you have your question designed, please write it on one of the whiteboards -> take a look at the questions your peers have posted and make an inference (your best guess) as to the content of their article 3. Make sure your first blog post is up and published on your website as tomorrow, Huron will be reading and commenting on your blogs. -> so far I have 18 responses to my form -> if you have not posted the link to your blog on my form yet, please do so today 4. Reflective Blog Writing - after reading blogs from other students, I want you to think about your own writing. We aren't comparing, but using this as a learning opportunity - what did you notice from others and how can you use some of their skills to enhance your own work? - you are also going to reflect on your own skills - what are you happy with in your first post? what do you feel you can improve? what is your goal moving forward?
