We Wish to Inform You...

Starter 6

1. Describe 3 important details you see in this image.  For each detail, explain what you infer from that detail.  Your inferences could be about the message of the piece, the author, the time period...
2. What's the message of this piece?  How does it connect to what you learned yesterday?

I summarized and read bits of the essay linked above.  Students listened, and took notes on main ideas and reading strategies for complex texts.  The key points are:  slow down, don't distract yourself with other things, and take the time to think about what you are reading.

Follow the directions on the handout linked above for Part 1 and Part 2.  Take your time, be thorough.  The reading is on page 122 of your reader.

HOMEWORK
Finish your first read through of the text as described in Part One of the handout.  DUE: Start of class, Thursday.
