  1. REMINDERS • Always write in complete sentences, DO NOT use bullet points. • You should end up with 4 paragraphs. • Take a look at the CCR break down before you start reading so that you know what to look for. • TALK TO TEXT! It makes your life so much easier when you go back and re-read.

  2. 1. What does the text say? • After actively reading the article and talking to the text, you are ready to tackle the CCR. • The first box is asking for explicit meaning, or what the text is saying directly. • You find the content of this box by going back and rereading. • Essentially this is a summary of the main points. • Take about 5 minutes in your personal domain (that means ALONE) to write the summary. • You will have time to compare with your elbow partner.

  3. 3. What does the text mean? • Here, you are not to give specifics from the text and a new summary. • Instead think: • What is the reason this article was written? • What is the author's point? • So, the answer here is implicit, or not directly there. • You must do some thinking and read between the lines. • Take 5 minutes in your personal domain to complete this box. We will share out later.

  4. 2.How does the text say it? • Now that you know what the text says, and what the author’s point is, you are to take a close look at HOW the author makes his/her point. • This means you are to look at: • The format of the text • Use of the modes of discourse, the appeals (ethos, pathos, logos), and any other text features you identify. • Does the author use evidence from valid sources? Give examples. • What kind of tone does the author use? This helps you understand the purpose as well. • Is he/she making jokes? Then it’s a playful tone • Is he/she being sarcastic? • Serious? • Informative? You MUST use examples from the text in quotations, to support what you are saying. • Take 5 minutes to complete this box in your personal domain. Be prepared to give specific examples when we share out.

  5. 4.So what does it mean to you? • NEVER write the following in this box: • I don’t connect with this text. • It doesn’t mean anything to me. • I don’t care. • I don’t know. • Instead, think outside the box. -Why do you think it is important to know the information in this article? - Can you relate what you read to your life or that of someone you know? How? - What did this article make you think of? - Is the information in this article related to something else you have read? Assuming you actually read? • Take 5 minutes to complete this box in your personal domain.
