Wednesday, sept 9 -

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?
