Announcements

• Your final test will be Monday in class.

Classwork

• Prepared for Monday's test by speed reading, "Leech" on pgs. 183-184 of NorthStar. We did a push down drill, meaning that we read the article 3 times, the first time in 2 min., the second in 1:30 min., and the last in 1 min. After each read, we answered the questions in each of the main idea, detail, and inference sections.
• Previewed "Looking Forward" and then read the first section to find the pattern of organization. We decided that it was a list of causes for the disappearance of indigenous cultures. We then scanned to find an example of each of the causes.
• Took a speed reading test for Dr. Anderson's research.

Homework

• Read "An endangered culture, on top of the world." Identify the main pattern of organization and take notes that follow that pattern and includes the main details.
• Read "Gross Medicine" on pg. 186 of NorthStar, and answer questions 1-5 on pg. 187.
• Read "The Penan" on pgs. 208-209 of NorthStar, and answer questions 1-6 on pgs. 209-210.
