  1. Purpose: For You to Experience Close Reading Firsthand “Implementation of Close Reading with Secondary ELLs” By Mary Kay Hughes mkhughes26@gmail.com

  2. Session Description • Guided experience close reading process. • It is a “hands-on” session. • Active participation is required for you to maximize your learning.

  3. You will leave with 3 gifts for your efforts! • Experiential understanding of close reading • Understanding of text-dependent questions • Handouts to help you delve deeper into close reading with complex texts

  4. The following quote is from the “Revised Publishers’ Criteria for the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts (ELA) and Literacy, Grades 3-12”

  5. “Reading well means getting the maximum insight and knowledge possible from each source.”

  6. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make inferences from it (College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading, CCSS, p. 35).

  7. The Common Core Reading Standards expect secondary students to: • Determine themes or central ideas in a text

  8. Analyze the development of themes over the course of the text

  9. Determine the meanings of words and phrases as they are used in a text

  10. Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claim in a text

  11. Assess whether the reasoning is valid and the evidence is relevant and sufficient

  12. Analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the structure an author uses in his argument

  13. Close Reading: Summary Students are expected to: • comprehend complex text and draw evidence and knowledge from it • use evidence from a text to support a spoken or written claim about the text

  14. Experience:Close Reading Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” Speech Handout: “Address to civil rights marchers in Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963”

  15. Close Reading Experience • Read the speech silently to yourself.

  16. View Video of MLK speech A good source for the video:Top 100 Speeches http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm

  17. Re-read the speech For the following purposes:

  18. Is there an emotional hook? • What theme(s) do you see? • Word choice/What uncommon language is used? • What analogy does King use in developing his argument? • Other texts referenced? • Symbolism/figurative language/repetition?

  19. Summary: Close Reading Used to help you understand and learn from complex texts—difficult texts with multiple layers of meaning

  20. Text-Dependent Questions

  21. In the article “Engaging the Adolescent Learner” by Fisher and Frey, read the subsection on the back of the 1st page entitled “Text-Dependent Questions” (handout).

  22. Example of Text- Dependent Question • Cite examples that King gives which serve to support his claim that “[the Negro ] finds himself in exile in his own land”.

  23. A non-example of a text-dependent question How do you think it would have felt to have participated in the march and to have been in the audience?

  24. Example or Non-example of a text-dependent question? Explain the argument that Dr. King makes in his speech and tell which U.S. historical documents he cites to build his case.

  25. Turn-to a partner and explain the difference between a text-dependent question and a non-text-dependent question

  26. Write your own text- dependent question based on King’s speech.
