Objective:  I can make inferences in my SSR book by writing entries that include each of the four steps in the 4-Column Inference Journal in the back of my notebook.  I can define and identify the steps of writing a summary by taking notes from the board and the two you-tube videos as I listen for the verbal directions.

Activities:

  1.  SSR:  Make inferences using the 4-Column Journal.
  2. Share Out:  One or two volunteers will provide examples at Promethean Board.
  3. Note taking:  Student will write the definition of “summary” on the board.
  4. You Tube:  Students will take notes to identify steps and reminders for summarizing.
  5. Turn-and-Talk:  Students will turn to their elbow partners and restate the answers for questions 1-10 in the worksheet for Parts 1, 2, and 3 of “Land?”.
  6. Share Out:  What is the main idea or theme of “Land”?
  7. Promethean Board:  What is a topic sentence to summarize this part of the story?
  8. Share Out:  What is the first event or main point in this portion of the text?
  9. Promethean Board:  Write the first supporting sentence, etc.
