1) In the tips for reading section (page 3), explain what three strategies you feel are your strongest.
2) What three reading strategies do you feel you should try to improve upon the most between now and the test?
3) Repeat instructions 1) and 2) for the writing tips on page 4.
4) Read page 5. What information do you find to be helpful or interesting?
5) Finally, what questions do you have about the literacy test (the OSSLT) that Mr. Pierce may be able to answer for you?
1) I think the best stratagies for me are: To manage my time to complete all sections of the test, read and reread all questions carefully, and to underline or highlight important information and ideas as you read. I think these are the stratagies I'm strongest at because I use all of them regularly.

2) I think that the three reading stratagies i need to improove are:  look for links between what you're reading and experiences you've had before, keeping my awnsers within the six lines provided, and if a long sentence confuses you reread it carefuly and put it in your own words. I rarely do any of these three things.

3) Developing a main idea with suffecient supporting ideas. Organizing information and ideas in a coherent manner.

4) I find the information on if I don't pass the OSSLT  helpful because after reading it I now know that if I don't pass, I can try it again next year.

5) I don't really have any questions about it.

News Report Zombie Outbreak

Zombie Outbreak

Early in the day the police where called in to a small candy store in Chippawa for a domestic dispute. When the police arrived they saw a man being eaten alive by a fellow employee, by the time the police aprehended the suspect the man was dead The suspect then broke free of the police restraints and bit one of the officers, the officer was able to get the man away from him and shoot the man in the head. Later that day the officer who was bitten began to act strangly and attacked, killing five other officers before being shot to death. The dead officers where also comming back to life and killing people, this act made people believe that they where zombies, because everything they bit or killed came back to life and attacked others.

Animal farm final opinions

I very honestly do not like the book Animal Farm, because it,s not my style of book. A book I would like to read would be a more adventureous book with more action. The book (in my opinion) was only good until chapter 3 because after that (or during that) chapter the animals take control of the farm, I would rather read a book with more logic (or action) than animal farm was able to offer. Just the fact that the animals where talking (though creative) was enough for me to think that this book would be one that I won't like to read. However, the word choice used in the book was amazing and I got to learn some new words so reading the book wasn't entirely useless.
