  1. When you first get in…. Add LO & DQ to pg. 79 LO: • Understand difference between Big Ideas (categories) & Examples (details) • Analyze student examples DQ: • What is a big idea? • How is an example different from a big idea? Table of Contents: Pg. 78 Written Response Reflection 11/7/13 Pg. 79 Written Responses 11/7/13

  2. Biggest Problem with Written Responses • Students struggled with identifying the big ideas vs. details & examples

  3. Tree Maps with a Different View Topic Topic Category #1 Category #2 Category #3 Big Idea #1 Big Idea #2 Big Idea #3 Detail Detail Detail Example Example Example Detail Detail Detail Example Example Example Detail Detail Detail Example Example Example

  4. Big Idea • Categories created for smaller details/examples about your topic • Topic of paragraph

  5. Examples • Are detailsyou provide for big ideas • Facts • Explanation of facts

  6. Different View • Big Idea= Umbrella • Details/Examples= What is under Umbrella Amusement Parks Knott’s Berry Farm Disneyland Castles and Coasters Six Flags

  7. Group Activity: What’s the BIG deal? Directions: Imagine the umbrellas are the big ideas or categories for paragraphs in an essay. You and your group will be given many different words and phrases for one of the written response questions You must place “big ideas” in the umbrella & the examples that belong to those big ideas under the umbrella

  8. What’s the BIG deal? • Facilitator- in charge of bag • Tracker- keeps group on track with time; make sure everyone understands directions • Reporter- speaks on behalf of group • Materials- checks materials, make sure everything is returned

  9. Share Out • Big Ideas: Resources, Leaders, Plans • Examples of Resources: • Better Uniforms • Iron/Steel • African American soldiers • Food supply • Weapons • Railroads • population • Examples of Leaders: • Ulysses s. Grant • William Tecumsah Sherman • Abraham Lincoln • Examples of Plans: • Siege of Vicksburg • Anaconda Plan • Total War • Sherman’s March to the Sea

  10. Activity #2: Now we’re going to work backwards…. • Most of the time, a teacher will not give you the big ideas, you may have to brainstorm everything you know about a topic, sort examples that are similar, then create a big idea/category for it. • YOU DON’T HAVE TO USE EVERYTHING YOU BRAINSTORM • Sometimes every detail will not fit • You want to pick the strongest examples (best for argument)

  11. Activity #2: Now we’re going to work backwards…. • Directions: You and your group will receive a topic that someone has already brainstormed examples for. Using 3 different colors, you need to group the examples that belong together. (3 groups) • Backside of Worksheet: As a group, you will come up with a big idea/category for each of the groups you found & list 3 examples under each umbrella

  12. Recorder– writes on behalf of group • Reporter- speak for group • Facilitator- make sure everyone is participating • Tracker- asks questions about directions if needed, keeps group on time

  13. Written Responses • Topic Sentence • Big Ideas (3) • Example/Detail of Big Ideas • Explanation of Example/Detail • As we read student examples: Circle Big Ideas you see & Underline examples of the Big Ideas

  14. Reflection Activity- Reflection • Glue reflection on LEFT SIDE
