Objective: I can demonstrate my reading ability by reading and rereading articles and answering questions on TeenBiz3000.

Today the students used Achieve3000 for the first time. The website has students read articles and answer comprehension questions to determine the reading, or Lexile, score of each student. The website tracks student reading progress, and matches the reading level of the article to the student. Most of the students did not finish.

Warm-up (first period only):
Use a semi-colon ; to fix run-on sentences. 
Example: My parents gave me a dog; I couldn’t wait to play with her.

1. Kendra never like cats she preferred to own a dog.
2. Call me tomorrow I’ll give you my answer then.
3. Janie got an A on the test she studied for two days.
