Studentsare asked to agree or disagree with these statements in order to activate prior knowledge, focus reading, and motivatereaders. See Beers’ When Kids Can’t Read: What Teachers Can Do and Best Practices Toolkit in Resources.Cues, Questions, and Advance OrganizersGraphic Organizers- Making Inferences From Text Evidence (ELA.7.Fig19D)Tell students they will be looking for clues in the text that help them better understand the text. These clues are calledtext evidence. Explain that they use their own experiences to interpret the clues. See Resources for a MakingInferences From Text Evidence template.Cues, Questions, and Advance OrganizersGraphic Organizers- Dialectal Journal: Literary Devices (ELA.7.8A)This dialectical journal entry requires students not only to identify literary devices but also to comment on their effects.Have students keep this dialectal journal entry in their Literacy Notebooks.Literary Device Evidence Commentary/Effect CreatedHyperboleIdiomsImageryMetaphorPersonificationSimileSee Dialectical Journal: Literary Devices in Resources.Cues, Questions, and Advance OrganizersTP-CASTT (ELA.7.4A, ELA.7.8A)Poems can be very difficult to interpret because a lot of what they have to say is not written but is implied. A majorproblem that students have with interpreting poetry is that they read the poem once, pick out a detail or two, and thenjump to a conclusion, often the wrong conclusion. To avoid this pitfall, it is important to gather significant data andconsider different hypotheses before drawing a conclusive interpretation. These steps, much like the scientific method,comprise a safe way to avoid serious misinterpretations. See TP-CASTT Example and TP-CASTT PowerPoint inResources.WritingCooperative LearningWriting Groups (ELA.7.14B)Use Writing Groups as a means for students to brainstorm personal narrative ideas and later as a method for revisingand editing. Groups should contain 3-4 members to ensure equal talk time and participation. Have students discuss thepurpose and importance of the writing process including prewriting, organization, etc. Create rubrics for appropriategroup behavior and develop meeting times. See Resources for RubiStar, a website to create rubrics.Setting Objectives and Providing FeedbackChecklist (ELA.7.14E)Have students complete a final checklist independently. This checklist should contain any last minute CUPS, formattingand guidelines.
