Today we read a new text by Dr. Maria Montessori about childhood education. We filled out a Questioning Texts handout with all the text info ("Dr. Maria Montessor's Own Handbook" by Dr. Maria Montessori, Publisher Frederick A. Stokes Co, 1914) and talked about our expectations for this text, based on that information.
Then we read it aloud, looking for places in the text to mark based on these guiding questions:
What is the author's attitude toward the topic? How does the author's language show her perspective?
In the last remaining minutes of class, students worked in partners to compose a TEXT-SPECIFIC question, using their highlighted marks.
Vocabulary Lesson 4 test tomorrow!
