Text #5: Kids Need Structure by Colin Powell, 2012

FOR CLASS on THURSDAY.

This text is another speech, this time by our former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell.

We are going to focus only on the first 8 minutes (our text officially ends at 8minutes and 10 seconds).

You are going to be filling out a QUESTIONING TEXTS WORKSHEET.  Questioning Texts Worksheet

Here are some sample GUIDING QUESTIONS for your first reading:

  •  What do the author's words cause me to see or feel?
  • What ideas stand out to me as I read?
  • How do the ideas relate to what I already know?
After viewing, look for details related to those questions and record them in the "questioning texts" handout.

2nd read: Work with your partner to come up with TEXT-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS to put in the final row of the Questioning Texts Worksheet.  

Share with the class and turn them in to Mrs. LaMonte.
