Friday, Feb 19 - Into This Air Conclusion

Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze informational text in order to improve reading comprehensive skills and prepare for Keystone exam.

DO NOW

Analyze  = to break down, pick apart and provide evidence for a specific question or statement. When you ANALYZE, you must provide textual evidence!

Analyzing is different then summarizing because when you summarize, you simply state "who, what, when, where and why" without having to provide quotes from the text to support your answer.

Direct Instruction

    B. Many quick decisions had to be made on that mountain in                light of the impending storm. Analyze two decisions (causes)          and the effects that resulted due to those decisions. Be                     specific and be sure to provide textual evidence for your                   answer.
