Objective: I can assess my reasoning for the T-Chart assignment on Chapters 18 and 19 by comparing my work with a peer’s efforts and writing a reflection. I can annotate the Science News for Students article about cellphone addiction by fix roadblocks, underlining golden lines, and asking pertinent questions likely to be answered in the text.
BW: At the Promethean Board, the whole class will participate in a share out analyzing the first three entries of the student exemplar.
Activities:
- Think Pair/Share: Students will review their T-Charts with their partners to assess their efforts.
- Independent Study: Each student will write a reflection(5 sent. +) that self-evaluates his/her own entries in comparison to the student exemplar. What was good? What are some improvements for the future?
- Independent Study: Annotate the Science News for Students article. Use these 3 steps: 1. Fix all roadblocks. 2. Find golden lines and underline them. 3. Ask text-dependent questions. (i.e. Look at topic sentences and turn them into questions as one way of finding golden lines and other pertinent questions.)
- HW: Complete the annotations and look for 3 buckets or categories used in the article. Reminder: Bring your own book for tomorrow’s formal SSR.
