Self Monitoring

This week for reading we had to read news called Adam Hall wins gold at Paralympic games. First we had to partner up with someone from a different group. I decided to work with Florence. We then went on Kiwi Kid News and read about Adam Hall winning gold at Paralympic games. Once we read the news we had to tell each other what words we didn't know. The words that I didn't know was snared, slalom and penultimate. When we finished telling each other the words we didn't know we had to make a copy of a google doc that was on the LS1 site. We didn't share our partner the google docs, they had to make their own copy. After that we had to write down the title of the text, the text image, the words that we were stuck on, the strategy we used to find out what the words we didn't know meant and what the words mean. We had to use the fix up strategies to help us find the meaning of the words. The fix up strategies are re read, read ahead, find out what unknown words mean, stop and think, create a picture in your head, ask questions, make predictions, make connections, look at pictures, illustrations, charts and graphs and asking for help.
