Instruction: ObtainUnit 1 Guide: Being Teen Standard(s) 2. Reading for All Purposes 4. Read a wide range of informational texts to build knowledge and to better understand the human experience. Objectives: • Reading: Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly, to make logical inferences from it, & to cite strong and thorough textual evidence in order to support analysis of complex texts. • Research: Use a research question to guide research and learning & gather information from multiple research sources to answer a question or complete a project, propose solutions, or share findings and conclusions. • Writing & Speaking: Write texts to develop a topic, to clearly & accurately convey complex ideas, concepts, and information through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content; develop the topic with well-chosen, relevant, and sufficient facts, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples, and logical explanations and analysis. Relevance: By examining what others think and say, we can learn more about our own belief systems and take action on what is important to us. Through practicing the close reading skills that are needed in the research process, we are honing our skills for any inquires we have in our future (selecting a college, buying a car, etc.) Essential Questions: What are the most important considerations one should make when developing a beneficial learning environment for teens?

Activity: Develop & Apply Purpose: to deepen your knowledge and understanding of the text through oral discussion with peers & written responses to text-dependent questions. Tasks: • Step 2: During Reading = What? How? Look for Patterns • Finish annotation Rosens’ “Driven to Distraction” • Visualize – Clarify – Respond – Summarize – Connect – Question • Step 3: After Reading = Why? So what? Come to a New Understanding • Share and compare your annotations of the article. Use this to help sharpen your understanding of the audience, main ideas and key supporting details of the article. • Discuss the Text Questions that follow and then respond in writing. • Review by applying SOAPSTone Outcome: Based on the Rosen article, what could you apply to our research question? What are the most important considerations one should make when developing a beneficial learning environment for teens?

Review & Release What new understanding or learning do you have today? Outcome: Based on the Rosen article, what could you apply to our research question? What are the most important considerations one should make when developing a beneficial learning environment for teens? • What are the most important considerations one should make when developing a beneficial learning environment for teens? • Identify a Point • Exemplify the point with an illustration from the text (“signal phrase/tagline”) • Explain the illustration (how it supports your point) • Elaborate on the idea further (why is this important; so what is the purpose in a larger context or effect on the reader) Make sure that you have re-examined your Personal Project Goal Statement, been in Naviance, and met your mentor!

Past, Present, Future TUESDAY • “Driven to Distraction” – Larry Rosen article – Q & A • Written Formative #1: Models& Self-Assessment • PSAT Scores from last year (take to math class!) • Written Formative #1: Re-write • Personal Project – Refine Goal Statement & return to Naviance • Written Formative #2!

Activity: Develop Purpose: To examine effective organization and perceptive content in order to prepare for your next written formative Tasks: Read thorough the model and annotate it (see handout & next) • Thesis • Identification (ID) of point (topic sentence) – related to thesis but not repeating it • Exemplification (example/text evidence) • Signal phrase & documentation formatting • Who wrote/spoke – source within source? • Sources – “Article Title” & Larger Source Titles & (page reference) • Explanation – approx. 2 sentences explain the quote and how it supports your identified (ID) point • Elaboration – approx. 2 sentences that continue to develop details, may go beyond text, may include more specific examples to clarify understanding, may show “real world” examples, tells the readers why this is important, its implications, effect Outcome: Let’s look at a few peer models and hear my +\- comments (see handout & next) Then, let’s assess our own!

Instruction: Obtain Model Research Question: What are the most important considerations one should make when developing a beneficial learning environment for teens? Thesis:When developing a favorable place for teens to learn, one should consider that students’ brains are still growing. • IDENTIFY: The ongoing growth of the teen brain provides not only a need but an opportunity to teach strategies to develop self control. • EXEMPLIFY: In the “Don’t eat the marshmallow!” TedTalk, speaker Joachim de Posada asserts that the ability to delay gratification, as seen in the Standford marshmallow test as well as other re-creations, leads to success in life (01:30) , and he explains that “we need to learn that principle [of self discipline] here in the States because we have a big debt.” (5:22) • EXPLAIN: If young children do not know how to put off their initial impulses, then they may develop habits which cause them to miss out on more positive consequences but will also struggle with future opportunities and successes. Thus, children must be taught how to cope with these impulses. • ELABORATE: In a society of the Internet, cell phones, and consumerism, we are used to immediate gratification and may not see how this can affect us long term. If we can teach students how to put aside their cell phones during study time and show them how to resist the impulse of friends to skip a class while their brains are developing, then these positive behaviors will carry into adulthood. As Posada points out, this self-control may have even greater consequences on the growth and prosperity of us a nation. Thus, we must show our young people strategies to balance immediate rewards while looking towards the future.

Activity: Develop Purpose: To re-examine our own organization and content in order to prepare for our next written formative as well as the summative Tasks: • Let’s look quickly at a few peer models and see what we did well and where we can improve. • Self-assess (see next) • Now, go back to your written formative and fill in the lines to organize your thoughts. IF you realize that you are lacking any elements, need to change ideas, etc., do so now. This is a chance to re-consider and rewrite ideas before you next formative and before the summative. • Please ask questions as I circulate (to return your scores) Outcome: Finish whatever revisions you need to on this formative so that you have ideas for your next formative and summative!

Activity: Develop & Apply B: Organizing How did you do? Self-Assess Thesis (broader assertion) – Identify (more specific point in topic sentence) Use of powerful & appropriate transition phrases, varied sentence structures Exemplification (example/text evidence) includes a signal phrase & documentation formatting Who wrote/spoke – source within a source? Sources – “Article Title” & Larger Source Titles “Quoted textual evidence” (page reference) The student: • makes sophisticated use of organizational structures that serve the context and intention effectively • effectively organizes opinions and ideas in a sustained, coherent and logical manner with ideas building on each other in a sophisticated way • makes excellent use of referencing and formatting tools to create an effective presentation style.

Activity: Develop & Apply C: Producing Text How did you do? Self-Assess Explanation – approx. 2 sentences explain the quote and how it supports your identified (ID) point; do not simply re-state the quote Elaboration – approx. 2-3 sentences that continue to develop ideas & details, goes beyond text, may include more specific examples to clarify understanding and/or show “real world” examples, tells the readers why this is important, its implications, effect, etc. The student: • produces texts that demonstrate a high degree of insight, imagination or sensitivity and perceptive exploration of and critical reflection on new perspectives and ideas

Review & Release What new understanding or learning do you have today? • What are the most important considerations one should make when developing a beneficial learning environment for teens? • Identify a Point • Exemplify the point with an illustration from the text (“signal phrase/tagline”) • Explain the illustration (how it supports your point) • Elaborate on the idea further (why is this important; so what is the purpose in a larger context or effect on the reader) Finish whatever revisions you need to on this formative so that you have ideas for your next formative and summative!

Read through the direction on the “You’re a Star” sheet. Note when it is due (below). Questions? HOMEWORK: • Finish whatever revisions you need to on this formative so that you have ideas for your next formative and summative! • Make sure that you have re-examined your Personal Project Goal Statement, been in Naviance, and met your mentor! • 5 Star Goals due next Wednesday! Be specific, colorful & creative; make it you!

Past, Present, Future WEDNESDAY • “Driven to Distraction” – Larry Rosen article – Q & A • Written Formative #1: Models & Self-Assessment • PSAT Scores from last year (take to math class!) • Written Formative #1: Re-write and Consider Next Steps for Written Formative #2 • 5 goals due Wednesday – Be specific, colorful & creative; make it you! • Personal Project – Refine Goal Statement & return to Naviance • Written Formative #2: Draft (2 sources, multiple pieces of evidence)

Introduction to MYP HonorsEnglish 3, 4 Standard(s) 2. Reading for All Purposes & 3 Writing & Composition Objective: you will be able to examine your PSAT Scores. Relevance: Understanding and knowing what we already know and what we need to learn, helps us to focus and grow as individual learners. Doing well on the SAT can help with post secondary goals. Essential Questions: What am I able to do? On what do I need to work? How can I create individualized learning goals/targets for myself based on a standardized test?

Instruction: Obtain Understanding Scores https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt-psat-10/scores/understanding-scores 9th Grade Benchmarks https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/about/scores/benchmarks • Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 410 • 9th Grade Section Score Ranges: 120–720 Point Scale 10th Grade Benchmarks Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 430 NPct= National percentile Percentile Ranks • A percentile rank is a number between 1 and 99 that shows how you scored compared to other students. It represents the percentage of students whose scores fall at or below your score. • For example, a 10th-grade student in the 57th percentile scored higher than or equal to 57 percent of 10th-graders. You’ll see two percentiles: • The Nationally Representative Samplepercentile compares your score to the scores of typical U.S. students in a particular grade.

Activity: Develop Purpose: To re-examine our own organization and content in order to prepare for our next written formative as well as the summative Tasks: • Now, go back to your written formative and fill in the lines to organize your thoughts. IF you realize that you are lacking any elements, need to change ideas, etc., do so now. This is a chance to re-consider and rewrite ideas before you next formative and before the summative. Please ask questions as I circulate for the next 10 minutes. • Finally, let’s make sure we know where we are headed and start thinking about this (see next) Outcome: Finish whatever revisions you need to on this formative and start drafting ideas for your next formative (and summative)!

Instruction: Obtain Formative Assessments: • PSAT Reading and Language pre-assessments • Annotation and Active Reading Guide #1 • Main idea paragraph, supported with a single piece of evidence from a single source • Main idea paragraph drawing on “multiple” pieces of evidence from two sources Summative Assessments (Criteria B – Organizing and Criteria C – Producing Text): • #1 Individual: Based on the research, you will write an response to the research question. This response will begin with an answer to the research question in the form of a claim/thesis statement that includes three considerations/points. Then, develop one of the considerations into a short essay (two pages max). The response must include three sources and a total of six “pieces” of text evidence. Your essay must include an MLA-style heading and title, 11-12 point font in Calibri or Times New Roman, and double line spacing. Thinking ahead … • What other exemplifications (examples from sources we have read) could you use to further the point you have made? Would you use additional information from the same source? Or would you use another source? • What other points do you want to make in response to our research question? You will need two more for the summative. • How will you proceed with the next formative? • 1 paragraph with 1 ID point, 2 sources, 1 example per source, each explained and elaborated OR start to identify your next point? • 2 paragraphs each with different ID point, 1 different point per source/paragraph, 1 example each explained and elaborated

Instruction: Obtain Model Research Question: What are the most important considerations one should make when developing a beneficial learning environment for teens? Thesis: When developing a favorable place for teens to learn, one should consider that students’ brains are still growing. Re-worked Thesis: When developing a favorable place for teens to learn, one should consider that students’ brains are still growing and that this is a perfect time to teach strategies for self control and dealing with other stressors. Thinking ahead to the summative… • ID Point 1: students’ brains are still growing • ID Point 2: teach strategies for self control • ID Point 3: teach strategies for self control and dealing with other stressors.

Instruction: Obtain 2 Options for Next Formative • ID Point 1: students’ brains are still growing • ID Point 2: teach strategies for self-control • Use Written Formative 1 • Add new source example (of an actual strategy), explain & elaborate • ID Point 3: teach strategies for self control and dealing with other stressors. • ID Point 1: students’ brains are still growing • Use a new source to write an example, explain & elaborate • ID Point 2: teach strategies for self control • Use re-vised formative 1 • ID Point 3: teach strategies for self control and dealing with other stressors.

Instruction: Obtain Revised Model Research Question: What are the most important considerations one should make when developing a beneficial learning environment for teens? Re-worked Thesis:When developing a favorable place for teens to learn, one should consider that students’ brains are still growing and that this is a perfect time to teach strategies for self control and dealing with other stressors. • IDENTIFY #2: The ongoing growth of the teen brain provides not only a need but an opportunity to teach strategies to develop self control. • EXEMPLIFY: In the “Don’t eat the marshmallow!” TedTalk, speaker Joachim de Posada asserts that the ability to delay gratification, as seen in the Standford marshmallow test as well as other re-creations, leads to success in life (01:30) , and he explains that “we need to learn that principle [of self discipline] here in the States because we have a big debt.” (5:22) • EXPLAIN & ELABORATE: If young children do not know how to put off their initial impulses, like putting off the marshmallow in order to be rewarded with a second one, then they may develop habits which cause them to miss out on more positive consequences but will also struggle with future opportunities and successes. Thus, a good learning environment would teach children how to cope with these impulses. • EXEMPLIFY: What would be another source this writer could use to develop this paragraph on teaching strategies of self-control? • One idea to teach students this is found in _______ by _______. Here, the idea is that “__________________________.” (__) • EXPLAIN & ELABORATE: In a society of the Internet, cell phones, and consumerism, we are used to immediate gratification and may not see how this can affect us long term. If we can teach students how to put aside their cell phones during study time and show them how to resist the impulse of friends to skip a class while their brains are developing, then these positive behaviors will carry into adulthood.
