2. How much have I improved?
January 7th & 8th, 2016
How much have I improved?

3. Essential Question
How much do I control my learning? How much should I be responsible for?
Spend 2-3 minutes discussing in small groups and be prepared to share.

4. Today you will…
Take a reading inventory and turn in your paper with your lexile level recorded for a grade.
You will continue working on completing the review of your exam from the first semester. REMEMBER: this will be a test grade.
If time permits and everything else is done, you can spend the remainder of class working on your Vocabulary.com assignment.

5. Scholastic Reading Inventory
You will need one of the small sheets with instructions. Make sure that you follow the directions exactly.
After completing the assessment, record your lexile score. You will receive a score of zero if you fail to do this.
After you have completed the assessment, filled in the form, and returned it to me, you may continue working on the recap of the final exam.

6. After You Have Gotten Your Lexile Score
Look at the chart that follows.
Find the Proficiency section of the chart. It will be a shade of green.
Find the grade level that your lexile level first appears. This is your grade level proficiency. If you are not currently at an 11/12th grade level you will want to improve on your lexile reading score. Talk to me about things you can do to improve your score for next time.
Remember, this does not indicate your intelligence, just your current reading level.
