TODAY’S LESSON
Double Period
Mini - Lesson 1
(10 minutes)
Three Key Questions
after Reading a Text:
1) What does it say?
2) What does it mean?
3) What does it matter?
These are questions you can ask yourself,
and they are also good questions
for the Teacher Assistant to ask
during a discussion.
Let's read Ch. 8
and then do three sticky notes,
answering those three questions.
Mini - Lesson 2
(10 minutes):
Using a multi-layered time-line
to keep track of what happens
in a novel
First layer: What happened
Second layer: What questions do I have?
Third layer: What predictions can I make?
