  1. Week 5 RDG081

  2. Quote of the week • “We read to know we are not alone…” C.S. Lewis (chronicles of Narnia)

  3. 6min. fluency readings…. • http://www.timeme.com/timer-stopwatch.htm

  4. Side Note… • Of course, the paragraphs you'll be reading will be part of some longer piece of writing - a textbook chapter, a section of a chapter, or a newspaper or magazine article. Besides expository paragraphs, in which new information is presented and discussed, these longer writings contain three types of paragraphs: introductory, transitional, and summarizing. • Introductory paragraphs tell you, in advance, such things as (1) the main ideas of the chapter or section; (2) the extent or limits of the coverage; (3) how the topic is developed; and (4) the writer's attitude toward the topic. Transitional paragraphs are usually short; their sole function is to tie together what you have read so far and what is to come - to set the stage for succeeding ideas of the chapter or section. Summarizing paragraphs are used to restate briefly the main ideas of the chapter or section. The writer may also draw some conclusion from these ideas, or speculate on some conclusion based on the evidence he/she has presented. • All three types should alert you: the introductory paragraph of things to come; the transitional paragraph of a new topic; and the summarizing paragraph of main ideas that you should have gotten.

  5. Review • Old Information….. • Understanding the topic, the gist, or the larger conceptual framework of a textbook chapter, an article, a paragraph, a sentence or a passage is a sophisticated reading task. • Being able to draw conclusions, evaluate, and critically interpret articles or chapters is important for overall comprehension in college reading. Textbook chapters, articles, paragraphs, sentences, or passages all have topics and main ideas. • The topic is the broad, general theme or message. It is what some call the subject. • The main idea is the "key concept" being expressed. • New Information……. • Supporting Details, major and minor, support the main idea by telling how, what, when, where, why, how much, or how many. • Locating the topic, main idea, and supporting details helps you understand the point(s) the writer is attempting to express. Identifying the relationship between these will increase your comprehension.

  6. Chapter 3 • Supporting Details: reasons, examples, facts, steps, or other kinds of evidence that explain the main idea. • Major details: explain and develop the main idea • Minor details: help fill out and make clear the major details.

  7. Continued Ch.3 • Outlining: http://www.eng.fju.edu.tw/con&com_databank/writing/outlines.htm • http://loj.loswego.k12.or.us/washburl/5-PARAGRAPH%20GRAPHIC%20ORGANIZER.htm Mapping: http://www.teachervision.fen.com/tv/printables/TCR/0743932080_065.pdf http://www.vrml.k12.la.us/cc/vp_gle/2nd/more/graphic_organizers.htm Summary: ..\..\..\..\Graphic organizers\Somebody Wanted.doc

For instance, over 4 million birthday cards are sent out in this country every day. Around Valentine’s Day last year, over 900 million cards were mailed. And close to 3 billion holiday greeting cards were sent out during the Christmas season. (Paragraph from Broderick, Bill (2000). Groundwork For College Reading. New Jersey: Townsend Press.)
