First, I warn them about the tendency to color the page instead of searching for important words. Then, I tell them that they can only highlight ten words. It forces them to select the most important. Then we discuss which words were circled and whyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01579040596970494015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352237245721067123.post-69854955495027148752014-02-21T03:09:36.073-08:002014-02-21T03:09:36.073-08:00Really informative

Our whole school sets aside 30 minutes in the morning where K-5 engages in Close Reading. I teach 1st grade and completely frowned upon hearing that I had to do this in my classroom last year, but after decomposing complex texts with my students I noticed that it's a skill we have to teach at a young age. The ELA CCLS are 80% of what we do in Close Reading. I plan to do a blog entry on it this weekend. Thanks for this article. It's so helpful! <br /><br />http://fantasticalfuninfirstgrade.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869266942142534974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352237245721067123.post-56700666654787607782013-09-05T06:58:11.390-07:002013-09-05T06:58:11.390-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869266942142534974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352237245721067123.post-56667871156445668512013-08-30T16:43:34.894-07:002013-08-30T16:43:34.894-07:00This is such an awesome technique.

I teach 7th grade and non-fiction is highly emphasized on our beloved state test now and getting students to be able to explain the text and what they read is nearly impossible with middle school. I'll definitely be able to adapt this to the article we read and then build them up for more advanced articles towards the end of the year. Teaching non-fiction has become such a thorn in my side because of the "boring" and tedious steps we have to take, we well as taking the fun out of fiction in school. This is great!
