Reading+podcast

= READING SAMPLE  =



= Your task: = To create one "two minute" reading sample at least once a term for your Digital Portfolio. Reflect on your reading sample and set a goal for the next sample.

= To do: = Choose your text carefully and know the reasons why you chose it. (part of a book you're reading, newspaper article...) Understand what the text is about. Practice reading your text a couple of times just to make sure that it's right for you.

How you tackle tricky words. How you know what to do when you see punctuation like **,. !** and any other types of punctuation that help you read a text. How you use expression to help the audience understand the text. How you recheck what you've read if it begins to not make sense.
 * You want to show your audience**

= Use Garageband to record your reading sample. =

= Reflection = Listen carefully to your reading sample. Write your reflection into your book, Pages or into your Podcast page. Your teacher will tell you which to use.

=== These are the questions we'd like you to answer when you write your reflection. Of course we're always happy for you to write as much as you like. === Think very carefully about how you'd like to answer these questions before you start writing.
 * I chose this text because .......................... (give interesting reasons)
 * I really liked the way I ....................................
 * The one thing that I want you to notice about my reading is ..............................

This is the most important question of all.
 * Next time I will ........................

Maybe you could give yourself a rating.

= Comments  = When you have written your reflection show your work to your teacher. In time, your friends, teachers and parents will add comments to your podcast.
