19. SKILL: Examining Text Mini-task: Close Reading Strategies What is Close Reading? Generally close reading includes: Rereading a complex text for different purposes Text dependent questions that support several reading standards Independent struggle with text Discussion of the text with peers to refine thinking Independent assessment of understanding through a writing task 19

20. Close Reading with Text Dependent Questions

21. Writing Text Dependent Questions:

22. What are Text-Dependent Questions? Text-dependent questions: Draw the reader back to the text to discover what it says. Have concrete and explicit answers rooted in the text. Frame inquiries in ways that do not rely on a mix of personal opinion, background information, and imaginative speculation. © 2012 The Aspen Institute

23. Differences in Depth: Text versus Non-Text-Dependent Questions Non-Text-Dependent Questions Text-Dependent Questions Are books without pictures or conversations useful? What kind of books does Alice find useful? How would you react if you saw a talking rabbit? How did Alice react when she saw a talking rabbit? Would Alice have followed the rabbit down the hole had she not seen it look at a watch? Why did Alice follow the rabbit down the rabbit-hole? What do you know about Lewis Carroll? What does the reader know about the rabbit?

24. Text Dependent Questions  Do NOT rely on…  Personal opinion  Background information  Imaginative speculation

25. Text Dependent Questions…  Require students to engage with text at higher levels.  Discover answers by extracting evidence from the text.  Are CCSS aligned questions (mirror CCSS aligned assessments).

26. Text Dependent Questions Level of Text SpecificityCCSS Anchor Standard Close Reading Skill Text Dependent Question Word/PhraseAnalyze how specific word choices shape tone (Standard 4) Why wasn’t Alice “burning with curiosity” when she initially saw the rabbit? What events led her to feeling this way? Sentence Assess how point of view shapes content (Standard 6) In the opening paragraph, Alice states “what is the use of a book…without pictures or conversation?” What does that sentence reveal about her? Paragraph Summarize key supporting details (Standard 2) Around which word or phrase does the meaning of the third paragraph pivot? Explain w/evidence.

27. Text Dependent Questions and CCSS Determine ideas or themes and analyze their development(Standard 2) Summarize key supporting details and ideas (Standard 2) Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact (Standard 3) Analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone (Standard 4) Interpret technical, connotative, and figurative meanings of words and phrases (Standard 4) Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics (Standard 9) Assess how point of view or purpose shapes the content and style (Standard 6) Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats (Standard 7) Assess the validity of the reasoning (Standard 8) Assess the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence (Standard 8)

36. Skill: Transition to Writing Mini-task: Socratic Seminar https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/teach ing-the-n-word https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/teach ing-the-n-word Viewing lens: Structure of Socratic Seminar

37. Socratic Seminar:

38. Socratic Seminar: Expectations We read and think about the text in advance. We refer to the text and give enough time for fellow classmates to locate text. We engage in conversation; we don’t talk at each other. We show we are listening by tracking the speaker and summarizing what a classmate said. We don’t raise our hand, but we wait for speaker to finish. We ask questions, give comments, but always give evidence to support our opinions. 38

39. Follow-Up Questions Tell me more about that. What about the reading made you think that ___? Using evidence, convince us that __. In what other context does that idea play out? What evidence would you give to someone who thought ___? Based on what we have read, what do you think that we will discover in the next chapter? After reading this information, how would handle a situation like ___? How is your answer different or the same from others? So, this leads to you to what conclusions? What did you discover? Adapted from http://www.edutopia.org/blog/rethinking-whole-class-discussion-todd-finleyhttp://www.edutopia.org/blog/rethinking-whole-class-discussion-todd-finley 39

40. Socratic Seminar It’s OKAY to disagree, so long as you do so respectfully – I understand what you are saying, but I disagree because… – I respect your opinion, but I disagree because… – I hear where you are coming from, but… Most importantly, in a discussion there are no right or wrong answers. 40

41. Sentence Starters – So what you’re saying is… – I disagree/agree… – I’d like to raise a question… – I’m confused about… – What is your opinion of… – I think this means… – What puzzles me is… – This relates to… – Do you agree/disagree…. – Don’t you think this is similar to… – I’d like to talk with people about… 41
