Vocab Master CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.6.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text… Determine the meaning of… figurative and connotative meanings Analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.6.4a Use context (e.g. the overall meaning of unknown and multiple meaning of a sentence or paragraph; a word’s position or function in a sentence) as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.6.4d Verify the preliminary determination of the meaning if a word or phrase (e.g. by checking the inferred meaning in context or in a dictionary).

Connector CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.6.7 Compare and contrast the experience of reading a story, drama, or poem to listening to or viewing an audio, video, or live version of the text, including contrasting what they “see” and “hear” when reading the text to what they perceive when they listen or watch.

How was it the same?  How does this text connect to topics you’ve talked about in other classes?  Have you read a book, seen a movie, etc. with a similar message? Clarifier CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.6.1d Review the key ideas expressed and demonstrate understanding of multiple perspectives through reflection and paraphrasing.

Visualizer CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.6.3 Describe how a particular story’s or drama’s plot unfolds in a series of episodes as well as how the characters respond or change as the plot moves toward a resolution CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.6.7 Integrate information presented in different media formats (e.g. visually, quantitatively) as well as in words to develop a coherent understanding of a topic or issue.

TIP: Create comic-strip scenes to visualize  How does your drawing relate to the characters?  Did you notice any change in the way you pictured the characters?  Are there any other pictures/charts in the text that could help us understand? Predictor CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.5 Analyze the structure of texts including how specific sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text (e.g., a section, chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to each other and the whole CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.6.1 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.6.1 Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

How do you know?  What did the author do to cause you to make that prediction?  How did the text structure influence your prediction (was it the end of the book, section, chapter)? Questioner CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.6.1c Pose and respond to specific questions with elaboration and details by making comments that contribute to the topic, text, or issue under study.
