Instructional Ideas
- Before teaching the lesson, come up with your own list of text-dependent questions to ask while reading; you can create a class chart or note-taking page or simply have learners mark the evidence right on their article copies
- The worksheet provided is listed as an assessment in the lesson procedures, but you could easily use it as classwork, partner work, or homework
Classroom Considerations
- The resource mentions an online tool kit a few times, but the website has changed since the resource was made, and you must subscribe; while a text evidence game might enrich your instruction, this is a complete lesson without the online materials
- See the materials for the chart from page 24 referred to in the plan and article
Pros
- High-interest topic will engage students
- Includes the article and a related graphic organizer, as well as a chart to analyze and a brief vocabulary list
Cons
- Links to the online text-evidence game do not work
