Reading, "Us and Them" in Formative

Goal: First read of a memoir, first use of a new tool.

Read: 
You should be almost 1/2 way through your first book for the semester.

Read a Memoir: 
Okay, new tool. We will use it a lot this year, so it is worth a bit of time to teach you how it works. It's called Formative and it will help me understand more about you as a reader. Basically, I put a short reading into Formative and then I add questions right into the reading. You answer the questions as you read. (I can tell from looking at my class lists in Formative that some of you have used this before.)

Directions: 

1. Go to http://goformative.com 
2. Choose "Student"
3. Sign in with your district Google account. 
4. Find the assignment called "Us and Them" 
5. Answer the questions as you read. Do not skip questions. If you change your mind about an answer you can go back and change it. 
6. If you experience technical difficulties do not panic. Just ask for help. We are here for you. 

Reminders: 

• Complete the first assignment entry in your English Journal (See post below from Tuesday.)
• Keep reading.
