Opening/Warmup/Connecting Prior Knowledge
A. Unpack the Learning Targets (5 minutes)
• Share the learning target:
• “I can use details and examples from the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address when explaining what specific passages say or mean.”
• Talk with students about the importance of learning targets—to help them know what they are expected to learn and do during a lesson. Help students understand the meaning of “specific details,” “showing what they know,” “contributing,” and “discussions.” Tell students that at the end of the lesson they will share how they did moving toward the learning target.
B. Review Close Readers Do These Things Anchor Chart (5 minutes)
• Reorient students to the Close Readers Do These Things anchor chart begun in Lesson 1. Ask them to ThinkPairShare about what they are learning about how to read closely and how it helps them understand challenging texts.
• Ask students to recall the gist of the introduction and first section from yesterday’s reading.
