商品簡介
The various lessons and guidelines provided here, for teachers of grades 6-10, are presented in a framework of five steps for close, critical, generative reading. In alignment with the Common Core State Standards, a central purpose of the book is to contribute to the discussion among educators about what an enlightened and literate citizenry looks like in the 21st century. Also aligned with the Common Core, readings are based on US history, with sample lesson plans for analyzing speeches by Abe Lincoln and John F. Kennedy as well as founding American documents; there are also lessons on evaluating websites, reading visual texts (such as photos and political cartoons), and comparing two texts. The book's guiding questions lead students through understanding a text, understanding rhetorical and informative strategies, and responding to a text. The book includes about 30 pages of reproducibles for students, along with summary charts, rubrics, assessment instruments, and progress charts for teachers.
