Objective:  I can identify details in the passages of my practice test that provide clues to the correct answers by discussing them in my group and listing them on my answer sheet.

BW:  Reread “The Snow Storm.”  List bits of evidence from the poem that suggest a mood of “seclusion.”

Activities:

  1.  Share Out:  What happened to the “traveler” and “courier.”  Where do the “housemates sit”?  Are they “enclosed”?
  2. List all the correct answers for the practice test.
  3. Think Pair/Share:  List details from the passage that justify the correct choices as above.  Students must be prepared to be called on randomly and explain justifications.
  4. Share Out:  At the Promethean board, the whole class will contribute to a discussion explaining the five most challenging answers.
  5. SSR:  Students will add inferences to their logs in the back of their notebooks.
