Objective: Students will be able to cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Do Now: Students will work independently to answer a prompt projected on the board. Announcements:
Whole class: We'll go over the key points of the "MIT Test Taking Approach" Then, students will head into stations. Independent: -Assignment #1 (if you weren't here last class): Students will input the answers from their homework here: "Nothing to See Here" Reading Check. -Assignment #2 (if you weren't here last class): Using the strategies discussed in the "MIT Test Taking Approach" closely read the text "Our Brains on Books." You may highlight the text, but annotate and answer questions on a separate piece of lined paper (just like you will when take the CAASPP).
-Assignment #3: Using the strategies discussed in the "MIT Test Taking Approach" closely read the text "Excerpt from 'The House of Mirth'" and carefully answer the 5 multiple choice questions in the packet.
-Assignment #4:
-Assignment #5 (if you finish super early): Practice your grammar skills on the website Free Rice.
Collaborative: -Activity 1: We'll revisit the text "Our Brains on Book", through the lens of the "MIT Test Taking Approach." Students will discuss with their partners and I'll point out "quick fixes" and strategies to use, in addition to, guiding them through the teacher rationale for certain questions. Additionally, we'll analyze student claims for the constructed response. -Activity 2: Then, we'll analyze student claims for the constructed response. Then, students will complete the CR independently, but will be allowed to answer questions of me or peers. Exit Ticket (5 minutes): Go to Google Classroom and open up "Exit Ticket, 'Our Brains on Books.'" Type up your Exit Ticket. Turn it in when you are finished. Comments are closed.
