DEAR EDUCATORS, Welcome back to school! This is an exciting time of year and as the scene opens on the 2016-2017 school year, we want to be part of your supporting cast! Our team has created Lights, Camera, Read! Find Your Focus with myON, a reading campaign to focus your students on reading in one take! We have designed a flexible and ready-to-use Educator Prompt Book with materials that will engage your students in reading—templates, goal sheets, booklists, family engagement resources, and quick tips and strategies for getting back into school after a long summer intermission, and keep them reading all year long! We hope you find the Prompt Book helpful! Sincerely, The myON Team P.S. Share your students’ show-stopping reading performance with us on Twitter and Facebook! We’d love to see what they’re reading, how much time they are spending reading, and how they are responding to the books they are reading! Don’t forget your starring role helping them get the most from myON! Educating your students is one of the most important roles out there—thank you for sharing with myON!

TEACHER QUICK TIPS FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL Just as the opening scene of a great play or film sets the tone for the audience—and their expectations for the show—the first days of school set the tone and expectations among students and families for the year ahead. These back-to-school tips will help make your opening week the best ever!
1. Be sure all students receive login cards with their school name and unique username and password so they can
easily log into myON from school, home or wherever they need or want to read. You’ll find login card templates in this Educator Prompt Book or on the Educator Resources portal Reading Campaign section at http://prodev.myon.com/in-school/reading-campaigns.
2. Preview the myON environment with new users and review it for experienced users.
a. Begin by ensuring students can navigate from their dashboards once they have successfully logged in. (Find Getting Started information for your students and their families at http://prodev.myon.com/at-home/get-started.)
• Direct first-time users to follow the prompts and complete their Interest Inventory and Lexile® Placement Assessment. • Check each returning student’s current Lexile® score quickly and easily by assigning them to log in and complete the Retake Lexile Exam Project. You’ll find it in the myON Community Projects, accessible from your myON faculty dashboard. (Find how-to information on projects at http://prodev.myon.com/inschool/using-myon.) b. Prompt students to select a book from their Recommended tab of just-right books, then read, rate and review the book. Be sure to follow up by checking student reviews and publishing them for sharing within their group or class. (Find how-to information on this topic in the Quick Start Overview/Using myON at http://prodev.myon.com/in-school.) c. Lead students through the process of Browsing and Searching for books that they can read now or add to their “My List” for easy access later. (These processes are covered in the Quick Start Overview referenced above.) d. If your students are reading on their own mobile devices, be sure that they’ve downloaded the myON app for offline reading. Show all students who are reading on mobile devices how to download up to 20 books for offline reading whenever they are not connected to WiFi. (How-to information is available for you at http://prodev.myon.com/professional-development/using-myon/myon-apps. And, there’s a separate handout to send home with your students in this toolkit.)
3. Assign projects to your students that enable you to assess prior knowledge and scaffold this year’s curriculum.
You can select existing projects from the myON cloud and adapt them for your specific needs or create your own. (Find how-to information on Projects at http://prodev.myon.com/in-school/using-myon.)
You’ll find more how-to guides and video tutorials to support your myON activities all year long at http://prodev.myon.com/in-school/using-myon.

THIS BOOK WOULD BE A GREAT MOVIE
Grade Levels: All Essential Question: Which myON book would make a great movie? Name any of your favorite all-time movies and chances are it started out as a great book. Books have inspired movie magic for over a hundred years, from Gone with the Wind to Harry Potter. This year, imagine turning your classroom into a major motion picture studio where your students decide which of their favorite myON books should be turned into a movie! In this activity students will closely examine multiple texts to determine which ones have the right ingredients to make a blockbuster hit that will appeal to their target audience. They will respond to memos from studio executives, as well as make decisions about the movie’s format, budget, cast, special effects, and possible release dates. The class will create and publish a studio newsletter to keep the entire studio informed about their research. Finally, students will use their research to create a multimedia presentation to “pitch” their movie ideas to investors. PROJECT INCLUDES: reading, graphic organizers, and writing prompts

GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS Graphic organizers help students practice skills around writing, problem solving, decision making, research planning, and brainstorming. Use the Who, What, Why, Where, and When graphic organizers to introduce the younger readers to a reading comprehension strategy that helps them to understand and retain information. Challenge the older students with character mapping to illustrate how characters drive action and conflict. Stretch their minds through knowledge mapping, a tool used to show the relationship between activities and can also be used as a notetaking method or for brainstorming. Find more graphic organizers like these and others in myON Projects. AP

ENTERTAINMENT DID YOU KNOW?
• There are only four theaters actually located on Broadway but there are 40 Broadway theaters in New York. • The difference between Broadway Theater and Off-Braodway Theater doesn’t have to do with location but rather audience seating capacity. A “Broadway Theater” must have seating capacity of 500 seats or more, while an “Off-Braodway” theater has 100-499 seats. “Off-Off Broadway” theaters have fewer than 100 seats. • The longest running Broadway show, Phantom of the Opera written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, opened on January 26, 1988 and is still running! • There are two seats permanently bolted open at the Palace Theatre in London for the theatre ghosts. • Walt Disney World, Florida has a record 1.2 million costumes in its theatrical wardrobe. • The oldest play still in existence is The Persians by Aeschylus, written in 472 BC. • The first animated film to be nominated for an Oscar for best picture was Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” in 1991. • In the 1960 movie “Psycho” by Alfred Hitchcock, chocolate syrup was used to show the blood in the shower scene. • The spider used in the 2002 movie Spider–Man was a Steatoda spider, not a black widow. The spider was given anesthesia, and was then painted blue and red. • The ruby red slippers in the movie “The Wizard of Oz” were sold at an auction for $660,000. • In the movie “The Wizard of Oz,” Toto the dog’s salary was $125 a week, while Judy Garland’s (Dorothy) was $500 a week. • The story of Mulan had been told in China for almost 1,500 years before Disney decided to make it into an animated movie. • The Oscars are Hollywood’s glitziest and most exclusive star-studded event, but the very first ceremony in 1929 was a private affair held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel - and a ticket cost just $5. • How the statuette came to be called “Oscar”? According to the Academy, the origin story can’t be confirmed but it’s widely believed that the trophy received its nickname from Academy librarian Margaret Herrick, who said that the little gold man looked like her uncle Oscar. • There are 700 bleacher seats along the red carpet reserved for fans. • Today, the number of photographs snapped every two minutes is the same as the number of photographs clicked by all of mankind in the 1800s. • In November 2013, the word “selfie” was announced as the “word of the year” by Oxford English Dictionary. • People born after 1980 will take an estimated 25,000 selfies in their lifetime!

Fun Facts about Movie Making
1. Some famous actors have four legs and a tail. 2. Rin Tin Tin was the first famous movie dog. 3. Acting has been around for more than 2,500 years. 4. Greek actors wore large masks. The masks had big open mouths. 5. In 1859 Charles Blondin, “The Great Blondin”, becomes the first person to cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope. 6. Zoe Bell is one of the busiest stunt performers in Hollywood. She started performing stunts for TV and movies at age 14. 7. Stunt people often perform wire stunts in front of a green screen. During editing this screen will be replaced with a computer-generated background. 8. The 1999 movie The Matrix used more than 100 cameras to make actors freeze in place. 9. Fire usually spreads up. In Independence Day (1996), fire spreads sideways along city streets. To create this effect, a model of the city was made and tipped on its side. 10. Pyro technicians make car explosions more exciting by loosening doors and hoods. 11. Long ago, workers used cornflakes to create fake snow for movies. The workers painted the cornflakes white. 12. Most people can look at about 20 pictures per second and still see them as separate images. Pictures that move faster trick our eyes into seeing continuous motion.
