Small Groups: Share vocabulary predictions Revise again as needed Stop for whole-class check Share highlighted thesis statements Share text support for your choice Come to a consensus on one thesis statement

Look at author’s techniques: Number paragraphs 1-14 Describe what the author does in each paragraph EXAMPLES: FlashbackComparisons ForeshadowingPersonal story/opinion Loaded wordsExamples Figurative LanguageStatistics Shift in attitude/perspective Shift from general to specific Shift from specific to general
