Objective:  I can write a summary of Cassius’s appeal to Brutus in Act I, Scene 2.

BW:  Students will review their triple-column paraphrase sheet to find Cassius’s goal.  Think Pair/Share:  Students discuss the goal with an elbow partner and write it in notebook.

Activities:

1.  Share Out:  What is Cassius’s goal?
2. Think Aloud:  Teacher will model writing the first part of the summary by beginning with Cassius’s goal to write a topic sentence and shaping the first five summary statements into four sentences.
3. Independent Study:  Students will write their summary paragraph based on the model.
4. Reminder:  The three-step process for AOW is due on Friday.
