Close Reading, Active Reading...

What You Did This Week

This week you revisited your understanding of claim and evidence by sharing your understanding though a written response shared with four other people. Well, five really because I also saw it.

As a class we revisited the First Quarter Review page you completed last week.

This week you also received your annotation workbook that goes along with the online Collections resources we use in reading.

This 'reading journal', as I like to call it, is an essential tool in reading this quarter. Please make certain this resource is with you at all times. We began reading "My Friend Douglass" by skimming the text and discussing it. This will be continue next Monday.

You also watched a video and recorded your observations and insights online, while watching a video about a Close Reading lesson.

Remember, all writing skills and strategies you learned thus far should be applied to all written responses, including the online responses you submit.
