what a non-fiction text is?” and then I will ask students what strategies they have learned in
their other classes for reading and annotating text. They should have learned annotating in
English and Science. I will repeat the answers they give to point out good strategies to use
while they are annotating the text.
Then I will ask the students what they will be looking for as they read this text (connect back to
learning target). We will connect to the activity and video from the previous class.
I will also explain to them that either as they are reading or once they finish reading, they
should make a T-chart on the white board at their table and list the advantages from each side.
While students are reading they should be annotating the text and adding to their organizer in
their notebooks if they want. They should also be making a list on their white boards of
important advantages and disadvantages from each side. Once students are finished, we will
come back together as a class and I will ask students to circle the advantage they think was
most important from each side. Once they have done that I will ask students to share what
they thought was most important and why. As they are sharing I will create a T-chart on the
board with all the answers they gave me.
If we have time at the end of class, I will have students cut and glue the article into their
notebooks. If not, I will have students put their articles into their drawers so they won’t get
lost. I will remind students of the learning target and will assess what they learned with a short
quiz during the next class.
