Objective:  I can annotate today’s AOW by identifying the claim sentence, main points, and solving roadblocks.

BW:  Copy the example the 4-Step process applied to the word “stickler.”

Activities:

  1.  Share Out:  What is the first step? Second? etc.

  3. Whole Class:  Explanations of guidelines and make-up work.
  4.   Skim Read:  Turn the title into a question and find the author’s claim.  Underline it and write “Claim” near the sentence.
