Objective: I can write a summary by listing five main points as I read a section of my SSR book, consulting with my neighbor about its main idea, and following the exemplar on the Promethean Board.
Activities:
- SSR: Students will list at least five main points for a 20-minute reading.
- Turn-and-Talk: Students will share their ideas about the main points and overall themes that emerge from today’s reading.
- Independent Study: Students will write a summary that includes 5 main points. Underline the verb that suggests each new main point. (See Promethean Board.)
- Share Out: A volunteer or random share of one student’s summary will be analyzed by the whole class.
- Word Wall Activities: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd hour will present their word wall homework. 4th and 5th hours will write a jingle or draw a picture for these selected word wall choices: piqued(v), harvest(v), and haggle(v). All work is on copy paper and colored. Everyone submits his or her own project. If a pair of students writes the scene, each student completes the project with his/her own hand. Do not cut and paste from the internet. Create your own work. Word Wall Activities(Modified) .
