Objective:  I can utilize roadblocks and golden lines to answer questions posed by each category in the Atlantic AOW by writing margin notes with arrows to the category question that explain each connection.

BW:  In Sample B of the “Opening the Door…” AOW, identify the margin notes for one of the roadblocks(i.e. “new chewing gum,” “provocation”) and explain how the student connected the roadblock to the category.

Activities:

  1.  Whole Class:  Review the first four categories of the Atlantic AOW.  Students who were absent should label them.
  2. Independent Study:  Students will annotate by making connections to the category questions with golden lines and roadblocks.  Follow the bellwork model.
  3. Think Pair/Share:  Students will compare the connections of golden lines and roadblocks with their elbow partners and rate their scores at this point by using the annotations rubric.
  4. L.A. 3: Students will write a short reflection of their current efforts and a plan to improve.(LA 3).  Random selections for share out.
  5. Honors:  Students will review activities in Section 1 of the DLW examples and write a quiz utilizing one or two of them.  Random selections for share out.
  6. Reminders:  Honors students should copy the information for their selected text to be annotated for homework and due on next Monday.  The selection choices are the first ten pages of the Stanford study, The Washington Post AOW, and the Rivera paper about concussions.
