QOD: Look at the photo on pages five and six of your text (cave painting). What do you think it means or signifies? (Students are writing at least two complete sentences and will work up to full paragraphs as the year goes on.)
Iceman - Today in class, I introduced the 'Ice Man' as a case study for looking at the jobs of archaeologists and anthropologists. We spoke about this briefly with the intention of giving the students a bit of background information. We will watch a video (about 20 minutes) which will tell us more on Thursday; students will then write a summary of the film.
BDA - I also introduced the Before, During, and After reading strategy to each of my classes. I gave several examples of how students can become engaged in the text and read with purpose. It is also an excellent way to take notes when reading a nonfiction text. This is a strategy that we will employ throughout the year to encourage meaningful reading and accurate note-taking. Students will be working on this in class tomorrow as they are guided through the process step-by-step.
Have a great night!
