Objective:  I can find the main ideas and golden lines of the “concussions” article by changing the subtitles into questions and looking for the answers in the text and underlining them.

BW:  Review the claim statement of the “concussions” article we found on Monday(9/25).  Reread the whole “concussions” article.  Answer this question:  Why does the article not provide a clearly-stated amount of time for watching concussions? Use evidence.

Activities:

  1.  Share Out:  Random selection of student responses.
  2. Turn-and-Talk:  Share with your neighbor your goals for finding main ideas and golden lines as you review the corrections for the “exercise” article.
  3. Promethean Board:  As you reread the first paragraph, ask yourself this question:  How does the writer capture my attention?  Underline this golden line(s).
  4. Think Pair/Share:  Turn the subtopic of the second chunk into “Why?” and “How?” questions.  Underline the answers and label as main ideas for “why” and “how.”
  5. Share Out:  One student will share his/her findings with the class.
  6. Independent Study:  Students will find main ideas for the remainder of the chunks.
  7. Honors:  Make predictions and other connections to questions while reading.
  8. HW:  Complete annotating the “concussions” article.  It is due tomorrow at the beginning of the hour.  Reminder:  As for everyday, remember to bring your SSR(library book) for a formal SSR activity tomorrow.
