Discussing a Literary Text and a Closer Look at Words


Description

Literary discussions provide students the opportunity to collectively understand and build on each other’s ideas about a text. These talks provide a window on students’ thinking that can help teachers figure out what students really know and what their misconceptions may be.

The Mid-Unit 2 Assessment is in the next lesson; you might wish to collect students’ Divided Loyalties: Reader’s Guides during this lesson and use pages 7–9 and the Literary Discussion Criteria checklist to assess individual students’ progress toward SL.4.1 and record feedback in the appropriate spot on students’ note-catchers.
