Advanced English: Thursday, 2/16/2012

Today in class, please complete both of the following activities to review and practice strategies for reading informational texts.

1. Complete Level Up: Informational Texts. Work through both the tutorial and practice tabs.

2. Complete the Interactive Quiz. You will read a brief article titled "Odd Couples" then answer 20 questions. The article can be found here or by clicking on the link within the quiz. When you have completed the 20 questions and clicked "Score My Test," raise your hand so that I can record your grade. This will count as a quiz score out of 20 points.

3. If you finish both of these assignments before the end of the class period you may read your library book, take an AR quiz, or play vocabulary games on Free Rice.
