Helping Students Read CloselyNovember2012 Common Core Ambassadors
Moving Closer to Our Target • Please sit with friends/colleagues. • I can describe the relationship between complex text, close reading practices, and students’ preparation for college and careers.
Small Group Debrief • What happened in your grade level lessons? (Literally, make a list of the steps you just took together – reconstruct the experience). • Why did it happen? (Connect to the reading and discussion in your Research Teams). • What can you learn? (How did this experience support your critical thinking about text? How will that translate to your students?).
Reading and Discussion at Your Tables • Read “Helping Students Read Closely”independently, text coding as follows: • * This is something I do regularly in my practice. • ! This is something I should consider doing more of in my practice – it would help my students. • + This is something we just did that helped me think critically about the text. • ? This is something we just did that I have questions about. • Discuss the *, ! and + items at your tables. • We’ll discuss the ? as a whole group.
