4 columns always:
pg/quote/strategy/Extra
·
Only put what
triggers the strategy you are using-in this case, the question that pops in
your head. Do not write the whole quote
·
Use key words for
the strategy to indicate which strategy you are using, like if you were
connecting: I relate, I connect, I recall, visualizing: I see, I hear, I smell, Questions-simply have to be in question format
·
Extra is used in
many different ways-It depends on the strategy. You must use it as much as you
can and it must be helpful. You could extend the question, answer it, infer the
answer-Maybe… Perhaps… Don't use it just because I'm looking, make it useful.
·
Must chart 5
strategies from the 10 pages-it doesn’t matter where they fall in those 10
pages. Must put pg to pg on your entry to indicate pages read
·
Must summarize
the 10 pages of reading. Do not start with anything like: These pages are
about.. This part of the book…. Just say what it’s about-get down to the main
idea.
·
Right now we are
only focused on one strategy per set, eventually we will mix them: Asking
Questions, Inferences, Visualizing, Connections
·
Every 2 weeks, a
set of 2 reading entries is due. A set includes, 2 reading entries, each entry
must have a total of 10 pages read (20 per set), 5 charted reading strategies (10 per set)
·
First entry
R5-R6-Asking Questions- is due Nov. 5. This gives you 5 class days and 14 days.
This means you would have to read 1.5 pages a day or 4 pages per class. There
is no excuse for not finishing. If you ever finish other work before others,
you must work in independent reading entries.
Eventually you will have to present reading entries to the class. Students
will randomly be drawn and will have time to prepare for this.
MODEL: DO NOT TURN THIS MODEL IN AS YOUR ENTRY: It is only to show you how to do the reading entries. Your entry should start with pg 10-where we left off.
pg/ quote/ Ask ?/ Extra
2 "left..my country" Why would he leave his country? Maybe he left because they were trying to
draft him
2 "not sung" Does he hate religious hymns?

be religious? him to an Anglican
church
2 "legs of a doll" What physical ailment does he have? he was born too soon
3 "pass him overhead" How much does he weigh?
Pg 1 to 10
Owen Meany introduced Johnny to God and has a physical ailment. (main idea-sentence summary)
Class reads pages 1-10 together. Students told they can check out books or purchase book for extra credit.

Problems with Group Essays-reviewed. Essays returned. Add to W1-Cnotes/fix
Major problems with group practice essays-this is why
we did this-so you could fix it before the actual assessment grade. Problems:
Not using transitions properly or at all, not elaborating, off topic, writing
about something not in thesis, awkward, wordy or not following 10 writing tips
at all, not comparing and contrasting, having no idea what point to point is,
although discussed multiple times, peer reviewers not really helping at all-and
putting false comments, not following directions, not listening, not looking at
notes or not taking notes properly
Model reviewed with Class: Students told to use the model to help them.
Intro reviewed: Start with a hook, have a connector (needed so hook and thesis flow together), and end with a thesis (works comparing/authors, the points being used to make the comparison/contrast, the so what-purpose for comparing)
Support: Use both types of transitions (to transition between works-refer to works in same order each time and comparison contrast transitions), focus on one point per paragraph-which you completely elaborate and compare and contrast. Refer to the 10 writing tips and don't make those mistakes. Point to point-when you stick to one point per supporting paragraph and fully elaborate it. You cannot randomly list points in one paragraph.
Conclusion: Reverse the introduction. Start with your restated thesis, include connection, end by relating back to your hook.
