Objective: I can identify the claim of the Atlantic AOW by reading to answer the question posed by the title and underlining it. I can identify four thought progressions(chunks) in the Atlantic article of the week by listening to readers and raising my hand when “key terms” signal a change the article? I can summarize today’s SSR reading by following the post.
BW: Reread “Do Cell Phones Belong in the Classroom?” to identify the claim statement of Robert Earl. Answer the question posed by the title.
Activities:
1. Share Out: What is the claim statement? Does this claim counter previous material?
2. Read Aloud: One student will read aloud as students listen for the first thought progression or change? Students will raise their hand to signal this change.
3. Share Out: What is the sentence that signals the new thought progression? Can I use it to label the chunk or category at the beginning of the article?
4. Read Aloud: As one student reads aloud, students read/listen for the next chunk.
5. Share Out: What is the next thought progression? Does it relate to the first one?
6. Think Pair/Share: Repeat steps #4 and #5 to determine the next thought progression.
7. Share Out: What are the “key terms” used to determine this new progression?
9. Independent Study: Complete Steps #4 and #5 alone. Share Out.
10. SSR: Students will read the posted steps to write a summary of today’s reading.
