Objective: By the end of class, students will examine Keystone literary terms in order to determine prior knowledge and use active reading strategies in order to find the MAIN IDEA of a passage.
DO NOW
Write into Notebooks:
Genre - A type of literature (fiction, non-fiction, prose, poetry, news articles, drama, etc)
To summarize = to simplify by putting in your own words; stating the "who, what, where and why" without details or quotations.
PLOT - a series of events (the action, what actually happens in a story)
MAIN IDEA = TOPIC + Author's point about the topic
Direct Instruction
Active reading Strategies handout with Main idea handout.
Read simple paragraphs together using active reading strategies.
Guided Independent
stress / learn to relax
Stress and your brain
As you watch video, write down the TOPIC, MAIN IDEA and two DETAILS/EXAMPLES that support your main idea.
Independent
Read the fictional story - "My first Baseball Game." Use active reading strategies while reading. MAKE COMMENTS AND CIRLCE WORDS YOU DON"T KNOW! MAKE PERSONAL CONNECTIONS! Use the annotation/ strategies sheet provided.
Answer the questions on the reverse side of the Baseball story. Refer to your notes if needed for word definitions.
Check for Understanding
Individual student checks during independent work.
Closure
Review finding the MAIN IDEA and how it is not always the first or last sentence of a paragraph or passage, but often must be inferred.
Exit Pass
What do you think the difference is between "analyzing" and 'summarizing"? What do you actually do when you analyze that you don't do when you summarize?
