Wednesday, Feb 24 - Titanic

Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze informational text (secondary source) in order to improve reading comprehensive skills. 

DO NOW

OBJECTIVE can mean two things - either "GOAL" or it means "FAIR. " An objective narrator tries to tell a story fairly, without bias (tell the facts straight up without any opinion).

Synthesize means to gather information about the same topic from different sources and then use it to write one piece. Information that is SYNTHESIZED is a SECONDARY SOURCE. It is usually very objective because the author looks at several viewpoints prior to writing.
