Objective:  I can organize my evidence into 3 categories by listing them on my bucket chart and follow the think-aloud for writing the first supporting paragraph by copying the model and highlighting its reasoning.

BW:  List the three sources used in the topic paragraph about Scout and the Dewey approach to education.

Activities:

  1.  Share Out:  What were the sources?
  2. Read aloud the evidence for the first bucket in the example.
  3. Share Out:  How do we get from the list of evidence to a supporting paragraph about how the Dewey approach would “bore” Scout?
  4. Think-Aloud:  As the teacher models, students will copy the writing and highlight the reasoning.
  5. HW:  Ensure that your bucket list is complete with 3 pieces of evidence for each bucket.  Do not use more than one piece of anecdotal evidence for each bucket.  If you do not have enough evidence, use the blog(Friday 4/21) for copies of the articles by Slaughter and Miller and your text of TKAM to find more.
