Objective:  I can use a variety of strategies to fix roadblocks as I read.

BW:  Read the 4th box in the “solving roadblocks” component(2nd layer) of the reading comprehension rubric and identify 2 or 3 important words and write them down in your spiral notebook with today’s date.

Activities:

  1.  Share Out: What does “context clues” mean?  What does “marks” mean? etc.
  2. Notebook Work:  Write “Strategies for Solving Roadblocks” and make a list independently for two minutes.
  3. Share Out:  At board, teacher will write down two strategies.
  4. Walk Around:  Students will meet a new friend and find one new strategy.
  5. Share Out:  Teacher writes at the board more strategies to compile a list.
  6. Application: On a four-fold leaf in the spiral, students will list these titles:  Roadblock, Strategy, Clue, Guess.
  7. Independent:  Students will use the 4-fold table to solve the roadblock for “moderate intensity” from the AOW of the week about exercise.
  8. Share Out:  A random student will explain how he/she solved the roadblock.  Students will discuss why the literal definition does not apply to the text like the working definition presented by the author himself.
  9. Share Out:  Thumbs-up responses for whether or not the objective(s) of the class were accomplished.
