How does Close Reading Fit into your Reading Workshop?

CreatedbyJenniferMueller2016

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday

Mini- Lesson (10 min)

The first two days of the week should be spent on your

curriculum goals. This involves best practice read aloud, think

aloud, notation modeling as well as student turn and talk

opportunities. During these “traditional” workshop lessons you

are holding conferences and small groups during second 2

portions of the time.

Teacher reads the text in whole without discussing or thinking

aloud.

The teacher will set a purpose for re-reading the

text. Students reread the text as teacher reads aloud. The students will annotate during

the read.

Class Practice(10-15 minutes)

Students are given a portion of the text. They read silently and annotate their thinking. This

thinking will mirror the focus of the week that was taught

Monday and Tuesday,

Class discussion of text with teacher facilitating with Text

Based Questions.

Individual Practice/ Discussion (30 min)

Class discussion of text with teacher facilitating with Text

support conclusions drawn from the text.

2. Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas.

3. Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.

Craft and Structure

4. Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word

choices shape meaning or tone.

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.

6. Assess how point of view or purpose shapes the content and style of a text.

Integration of Knowledge and Ideas

7. Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse formats and media, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.

8. Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the

evidence.

Dr. Tim Shanahan’s Thoughts on Each Session

1stRe

ading • Don’t think aloud if you are

reading the full text to the class.

• If all students have theirown text, just give a text tease to get them interested.

• Questions should help guide the students to important elements of the text and clarify confusion

• Response could be a retelling of the story or facts

2ndRe

ading • Questions should help guide students to

think about how the text works and what the author was up to (craft and structure)

• My questions focused on why and how the author told his story (particularly focusing on literary devices, word choices, structural elements, and author purpose)

• The discussion led by these questions should lead to a good understanding of how the text works and to a deeper understanding of its implications

• A good follow up would be a critical analysis of the story or some aspect of the story (____ changes from the beginning to the end. Do the neighbors? Compare and contrast how Plumbean and the neighbors change?

3rdR

eadin

g • Questions should help guide students to think about what this text means to them and how it connects to other texts/

• stories/events/films.• What did you take the

story to mean from [main character's] point of view?

• What did you take the story to mean from the neighbors’ point of view?

• What did the story mean to you? What does it say about how you live your life?
