Today is Monday, November 13, 2016. Your 3-day weekends must have been awesome with lots of fun events to share in Community Circle today. I had a fun weekend too that I can't wait to share with all of you. This week, I would like to stress that your homework/assignment for the week is assigned on Compass Learning. Some of you need to complete the learning module from last week on Plot. Last week's assignment is titled "PLOT 1". If you did poorly on the first quiz and are ready for a retake, then that module is titled "PLOT 2 QUIZ". Those of you reading this who are rockstars and would like some extra credit points, please feel free to do "Plot 2". This week's assignments are all on inferences and drawing conclusions about what we read. This week's modules are assigned as "Inferences 1" and "Inferences 2". Making an inference based on what we read is a vital skill that all proficient and expert readers do when reading and after they are finished reading. Sometimes, in order to make an inference, we must reread the text or a part of the text to gain a better understanding of the information. This goes for both fiction and nonfiction genres. Please remember that the #1 reading comprehension strategy that helps 7th graders goes unused by many students. The #1 reading comprehension strategy that helps 7th graders is RE-READING! Expert and proficient readers usually read a text through once to get the gist, then a second time to get specific information. Expert readers will even reread a 3rd time to get a deep understanding of what was read and how to apply it.
Time to get off the toilet,

P.S. This week's Vsauce is brought to us by "Farts". The more you know...
