Objective: I can complete the 4-Squares of the Frayer chart for a new word from yesterday’s vocabulary by following the steps provided in the exemplar demonstration. Also, I can list supporting and counterclaim evidence for the author’s argument in the AOW by applying the four steps in the worksheet and consulting with my neighbor.
BW: Complete the Frayer chart as the teacher models the activity for “poignant.”
Activities:
- Independent Study: Students will complete the back side of the Frayer chart for another word from yesterday’s vocabulary selection. Apply the exemplar.
- Share Out: Which sentence in the “Smartphone” AOW did you put an asterisk by for homework? Does it answer the question posed by the question in the title? Underline the correct claim statement and put “CS” next to it.
- Share Out: What is the connection between the claim statement and the phrase “myriad aspects” that precedes it? Apply “MI”(claim statement) roadblock strategy.
- Independent: Skim/read for a statement that supports the claim. Mark an asterisk.
- Share Out: What sentence did you choose as supporting evidence? Does your sentence provide a specific example or does it generally support the claim? If it’s specific, underline it and mark “GL”(golden line) nearby.
- Think Pair/Share: Consult with your neighbor to add one more.
- Share Out: Repeat Step #5.
- Think Pair/Share: Place an asterisk by a counterclaim sentence.
- Share Out: Repeat Step #5.
- HW: Complete the claim/evidence handout for tomorrow and provide lines/labels for the Claim Statement(CS) and Golden Lines for Claim and Counterclaim Evidence.
