FLA 7F
    Today we learned what strategies we can used to help up fully understand articles that we read. We worked in 2 different groups, our first set of groups read the strategies and became experts in each strategy. We then redivided into our second set of groups. These groups contained 1 expert from each of the 4 strategy groups. The experts then taught their strategy to their new groups.
  The 4 strategies we worked on today were Visualizing, Verifying your comprehension, Interpreting Photos and Summarizing and Organizing information.
   We will be using these 4 strategies through out this unit as we continue to read articles.

Most students were able to finish this in class, if they did not it is required that they finish it for homework and hand it in on Monday.
