November 8th

1. Working in small groups, you will work through the instructions for reading that you were given last class period:
  • What is the overall point of the sections? Chapters? What is its thesis/claim? What is its goal? (This may come to you as you read) Track these ideas. 
  • HOW are sentences functioning for the writer? Topic sentences? Data/evidence? Warrants? Narrative? Use the function to guide your comprehension. This will also help you distinguish what to write down and what to summarize. 
  • How would you section off the ideas? Remember how paragraphing works. Use your new found skills to build meaning. 
  • Look for transitions and the relationships they present in the surrounding text. I often square off transitions when I read. 
  • Write some brief summaries of your findings when you finish a section.. a page... a chapter. 
  • Obviously write down terms and definitions. 
  • Finally, add your analysis and questions you have in your reading experience
Discuss: How do your notes look? Have you covered the above concepts? How have they impacted your reading? How "well" would you say you know the reading?

2. When you are done with your discussion, on your own, please look through a practice quiz over the reading. You do not need to write down answers.. but check that they are IN your notes! 

Found here: How to Read Questions
This will give you good feedback as to your comprehension of the two chapters.  

3. Discuss with your group: How quickly were you able to access the information? Did you have to look it up in your notes? Did you have it in your notes? 

Think about the difference in RENTING information and OWNING information. If you rent... you can't do anything with it.. and it is temporary. If you OWN the information, it is yours to alter, utilize, etc.

3. When your group work is done, you will be creating, on your own, a POSTER with an awesome piece of advice that you learned about reading! Make sure that you credit it to the author. Post the poster in Google Classroom.
