Subject:
Reading Comprehension

Determining Importance

GCO's: When readers determine important information, they identify the type of text they are reading and then concentrate on finding the essential ideas, events, or details from that text.
For nonfiction, determining the important information often means finding the main idea.
For fiction, it means understanding essential plot points, themes, or character actions.

Reflection:
In the assessment phase I employ a method of gradual release or responsibility as the year goes on . Using the collective information from class assignments to construct a portfolio for each student and maintain a running record of their progress . The curriculum that applies is as follows:
• ask and respond to questions to seek clarification or explanation of ideas and concepts
• defend and/or support their opinions with evidence
• listen critically to others’ ideas or opinions and points of view
In collaboration with the students, design a rating sheet to assess students’ verbal and non-verbal skills and strategies. Use the rating sheet to assess students’ individual performances. Have students use the sheet to periodically assess their peers and provide constructive feedback
Prep:
Teacher must go over rocks pdf to highlight areas to include in think aloud
Materials:
