Students set up their new Reading Folders for Term 2. I gave students the big picture and outlined for them the steps we would be taking in Language Arts to get them ready for the presentation night on December 10th. On the overhead, I had a copy of the research on Native American culture that I had gathered and I modeled for students how to dissect a piece of research by annotating the text. We went through the first 3 pages of my research together. As students read the research I showed them how to annotate a research text in order to gather information for their research paper. I also showed students how a particular part of my research that was very interesting to me, helped me brainstorm some ideas for the piece I could present on December 10th. Students spent the last 10 minutes of class reading in their independent books.
Homework: If you have not already, gather research on a topic of Native American culture that is of high interest to you. Annotate the research so that you can have some topics to put on an outline when we start writing the paper on Monday.
