  1. Content DR-TA • Have students sit together in pairs (or threes). Each student has their own copy of the reading, but only one sheet of note paper. • Ask students to list on the paper everything they know about a general topic, e.g., “South Africa” • Ask students to list everything they know about a specific related topic, e.g., “Apartheid” • Ask students to predict what they’ll read about based on their lists. • Have the students read about SA today (http://worldfocus.org/blog/2009/02/23/poverty-preserves-racial-lines-in-post-apartheid-south-africa/4161/). As they read, have them mark any predictions they wrote that they read about with a +, mark inaccurate predictions with a -, and add new information that they learn • Have a whole-class discussion about what students predicted and what they learned. Record important facts on the board or butcher paper for later reference.

  2. Let’s Try This • Go to: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/specialsections/40th-anniversary/A-Youth-Renaissance-for-Native-Americans.html • (It’s a link on the course website, http://literacy473.weebly.com . Go to “Calendar” and scroll down to tonight’s date.) • Turn to the people sitting around you and form groups of 3 or 4. Read the first part of the article, online or on the screen. • Generate a “general” topic for the article; • Then, generate a more “specific” topic. • Write these on a small slip of paper and give them to me or Chris to share at the end of class.
