"Brain Gain": Reading Closely for Textual Details Day One

The Wire: All the Pieces Matter

On Thursday, we will begin our next unit titled "Brain Gain" in order to help you READ CLOSELY FOR DETAILS.  This video clip from the TV show "The Wire" will help demonstrate the importance of asking questions and paying attention to details in order to make informed conclusions.

Guiding Questions Handout

We will also be viewing two pictures in order to practice looking closely for details.

In your Socratic Groups, answer the following questions in writing and then write a caption for each photo:

Guiding Questions:

1-What is the text (photo) mainly about?
2-What stands out to me as I examine this text?

Text-specific Questions:

1-What do you notice about the people in each picture?
2-What is significant about the way students are dressed?
