Then add text(s) Visuals – maps, art, pictures, etc. Primary & secondary sources 4. Make a hypothesis –answer question(s) with evidence from the text(s) 3.

Scholastic News Weekly Readers What examples of conflict & cooperation do you see in the Pilgrim/Wampanoag story? “When the Pilgrims Met the Wampanoag” “When the Wampanoag Met the Pilgrims” Scholastic News Weekly Readers

Reciprocal Reading Teacher Instructions: Choose a text. Chunk it into sections. Divide into groups of 3 and assign roles. You may need to model a section together first. Student Instructions: Read and annotate a section individually first, then stop at the end of each chunk and discuss it using your role: Question, Clarify, & Summarize. Use the boxes to write down others’ ideas. -After discussing all sections of the text, discuss examples of conflict & cooperation in your text. -Look back at your picture prediction. What parts were accurate? What parts did you predict incorrectly? Standard: describe various forms of interactions (compromise, cooperation, conflict) that occurred between diverse groups (e.g., Native Americans, European Explorers, English colonists)

Step 3: Strategies for Analyzing Sources Library of Congress Analyzing Primary Source Templates Picture Quadrants Reciprocal Reading Annotating Text Sketching Through the Text Gallery Walk Very Important Points (VIPs) Compare/contrast – Venn diagrams SOAP(S) 3. Embed literacy strategies & analyzing sources skills

Sketching Through the Text & Gallery Walk

Very Important Points (VIPs)/Compare-Contrast Question: What was life like for soldiers in a Civil War camp? 1. Primary Source – Civil War Letter, 1862, from Scottsville, KY 2. Secondary Source – “Life in a Civil War Army Camp” from Encyclopedia of the Civil War Reading Assignments: (4 VIPs) 1 – Primary source 2 – 1st page of Life in a CW Army Camp 3 – 2nd page of Life in a CW Army Camp Share VIPs with people who read other texts. Compare/contrast the similarities and differences in the texts using the hula hoop Venn diagrams and post- it notes. Grade 4: Compare/contrast a firsthand & secondhand account of the same topic; Grade 5: Analyze multiple accounts of the same topic – similarities/differences

Your Task: Use the SOAPS Primary Source “Think” Sheet to analyze the broadside. S - Subject O – Occasion A - Audience P - Purpose S – Speaker

Make that into an essential question OR Use a student-generated question strategy What texts will you use? (Examine the sources) Locating quality sources Embedding literacy strategies & close reading of texts How will they “answer” the organizing question? (Making a hypothesis) Formative assessment OR Product – presentation, discussion, writing, etc.
