What is the goal of 1st Marking Period?
• Teach students how to interact with non-fiction text.
• What is important? What is the author trying to tell us?
• It is NOT necessarily about the CONTENT.
• It’s about interacting with non-fiction text and the author of the text.
• It’s about reading with specific purpose.
