  1. WARM-UPPronoun Agreement During away games, neither the basketball players nor Coach Jones can get their beauty sleep because the college vans bounce along on bad shock absorbers. Both the living room furniture and the kitchen counter have its surface scarred from cigarettes that my chain-smoking Aunt Mary carelessly put down.

  2. TALKING TO THE TEXT A reading Comprehension Strategy

  3. TALKING TO THE TEXT BASICS BENEFITS • Circle unknown words • Highlight/Underline context clues • Take as many notes as possible in the margins on the main ideas AND relevant examples. • No more re-reading • Saves time! • Easier to study later or answer questions

  4. TALKING TO THE TEXT • TYPES OF NOTES: • QUESTION: So you can come back to it later and not waste time now… maybe it doesn’t even matter! • SUMMARIZE: Put a large chunk BRIEFLY in your own words • CLARIFY: Re-explain in simpler terms • COMPARE: Personal/Outside connections • PREDICT: This might happen in the future… Consequences/repercussions

  5. NOTES: UNKNOWN WORDS QUESTION SUMMARIZE CLARIFY COMPARE PREDICT So how do you live in a digital world and still maintain a semblance of privacy? Experts say it’s crucial to recognize that those bits of data are permanent—a trail of electronic crumbs that is never swept away, available to anyone with the skills and inclination to sniff it out.

  6. NOTES: UNKNOWN WORDS QUESTION SUMMARIZE CLARIFY COMPARE PREDICT Privacy may not feel like much of an issue for those in their teens and 20s. They’ve grown up chronicling their lives on popular social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook for easy retrieval by friends and strangers alike. But some young people don’t realize that what was funny to college buddies might not amuse a law-firm recruiter. Employers regularly research job applicants on the Internet. Some colleges are helping students prepare: Duke University hosts seminars on how to clean up a Facebook account. “You learn why posting pictures of you riding the mechanical bull at Shooters is a bad idea,” says Sarah Ball, a senior whose own page is secure and clean.

  7. NOTES: UNKNOWN WORDS QUESTION SUMMARIZE CLARIFY COMPARE PREDICT Amy Polumbo, 22, restricted her page on Facebook to 100 or so people who knew her password. “It was a way for me to keep in touch with friends all over the country,” she says. But after she was crowned Miss New Jersey in June, someone downloaded pictures of her and threatened blackmail. She thwarted the attempt by releasing the photos herself (they’re quite innocent) but suffered weeks of embarrassment. “I know how easy it is for someone to take advantage of you on the Internet,” says Polumbo. “The Web is a place where people can destroy your reputation if you’re not careful.” START TALKING TO THE TEXT

  8. LIST OF FACTS • Privacy is withering/dying • Trail of data is permanent • Technology tracks… • Purchases, travel, finances, friends, calls, personal info, legal troubles • Employers check on line • Ruins your reputation (ex. Ms. NJ) • Hackers steal your records – no security • Companies sell your info to other companies and FBI • Can stop terrorists NOW, SUMMARIZE ORDER: Topic Sentence on main idea Relevant supporting examples Concluding sentence *NO opinions! • Privacy is necessary for our freedom – we can’t give the government more power.

  10. NON-FICTION READING PROCESS

  11. FACT VS. OPINION • FACT – something that is known about a subject and can be tested as true • OPINION – what someone thinks about a subject NON-FICTION TERMS Study Island Terms Vocab Questions Fact vs. Opinion Text Organization/Strucutre Argument Techniques You try! • Spiders have 8 legs • It’s easy to learn how to write your name. • If you have a cold, you should stay home from school. • Teens are younger than adults.

  12. TEXT ORGANIZATION/STRUCTURE • Chronological – order it happened - first, second, third, (Ex. History or a story) NON-FICTION TERMS Study Island Terms Vocab Questions Fact vs. Opinion Text Organization/Strucutre Argument Techniques • Sequential – steps – 1, 2, 3, (Ex. How To) • Compare/Contrast • Cause/Effect • Problem/Solution • Description/Topical – goes through different topics or categories about the topic (Ex. 5 paragraph essay) THOUGHT: How was the privacy article organized?

  13. ARGUMENT TECHNIQUES • Statistics – numbers to prove your point • Ex. The high school graduation rate has remained at 74% from 2002 to 2006. Nearly half of all children in the world live below the poverty line. NON-FICTION TERMS Study Island Terms Vocab Questions Fact vs. Opinion Text Organization/Strucutre Argument Techniques • Expert Opinion/Authority – someone/a group credible in that field • The Surgeon General says that smoking can cause lung cancer. • Logical Appeal – a connection/conclusion that makes sense… analogy, comparison • If you do not exercise regularly, then you will face health risks later in life. • Emotional Appeal - makes someone “feel” for the issue (persuasive) • Think about the ASPCA commercials

  14. SUMMARY In today’s cities, privacy is dwindling away. One example is that hackers can steal your records. Another example is that companies can sell your information to other companies and even the FBI.Anyone with the right tools and smarts can find your personal information, purchases, legal troubles, calls, and more.
