We have recently been doing some shorter shared reads around informational and persuasive texts. We usually spend 4 days on the shared reads. On day one, we read and discuss the text together. On days two and three we answer text based questions using an interactive notebook page, and on day four we reread the text with a partner to focus on fluency. Some of the standards we are addressing through these shared reads are
- R.I.5.7 Drawing information from multiple sources and demonstrating the ability to locate an answer to a question or solve a problem efficiently.
- R.I.5.8 Explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points in a text, identifying which reasons and evidence support which point(s).
Here are a few examples of those notebook pages:
