11/9-11/13

Monday

1. Students should read the entire text "Identifying the Victim" through once, circling new words as they are reading.

2. After reading,  students should complete the Line #’s column and the Context Clues column of the vocabulary sheet: "Identifying the Victim" vocabulary chart. Vocabulary chart must be completed by the end of class on Friday.

    3) After they complete the vocabulary sheet, they should read the entire text a second time and annotate as follows:

• Circle names, dates, places, statistics, and new vocabulary words
• Underline anything that can help them figure out central idea (recurring images, supporting details, significant moments, text features, author’s purpose)
• Write in the margins any questions or confusions they may have, clarifications, connections to the other texts, or other responses to what they are reading.

Tuesday

When they are done with annotating, they should draw an annotations chart that looks like this in their Reader/Writer Notebook:

Line #’s	Central Idea	Paraphrase of Supporting ideas	Explanation of how supporting ideas relate to the central idea
1-23
24-81
82-122
123-152
153-170
171-187

Central Idea of entire article:


Students will work with their table partners to complete this chart. The chart is due by Friday at the beginning of class.
