Everyone in class receives this booklet FREE. It is a GREAT way for you to see how the components of language that we are discussing are essential in teaching students to read. We have discussed how these develop in a child's spoken language. The book will show you how the various components of syntax and semantics are so important in developing reading skills.
You have to do NOTHING with the booklet. However, if you WANT you have the opportunity to use it to earn bonus points.
What you will do is you will choose either syntax or semantics. You will read through the book using the Double Note Entry form. On the left hand side make notes - you do not have to copy entire paragraphs or EVERY one. You will choose what you believe are the MAIN ideas or key points. You might put the beginning of a phrase and the page number on the left. On the right side then put a reflection of what we have learned about that idea in class, an activity we have done, a personal reflection or a connection you have with that to the real world. The number of points will be determined by your effort, the amount of information you provide up to 20 points.

How do we get this booklet? I definately don't have one...so I hope I'm not missing out. I would like to try and get some of these bonus points.
I am passing them out in class tonight. You can get one from me next week. I'm in class now - they're doing an activity. I just asked but no one said they'd see you to give it to you. - Sorry.
Is there a web edition? Can i access it from the internet? I would love to attepmt extra credit points...
The URL is too long to post here. I have to do it in a new post to be able to create it in html
When is this extra credie due?
I need time to grade it and so I will need to have it before all of the Language Projects which I have a feeling will all come rolling in at that December 12th deadline.
So . . .by Monday, December 8th.
