Tuesday: Chapter 1 Of Mice and Men

Today our learning target is to get good at using guiding questions and text-specific questions to understand a text better.

After we finish reading Chapter 1, get into your groups of 4 and discuss your answers to the

GUIDING QUESTIONS:  What ideas are presented?  
                                         What stands out to me?

Record your answers on one piece of binder paper with all your names on it.  Looking closely at them, create a text-specific question about an important detail from chapter one.  Write it down underneath your answers to the guiding questions.

THEN wait for instructions about where to deliver your paper.

Discuss the answer to the text-specific question you are given.  FIND ONE DETAIL that you think helps you answer the question.  Write it down and then write the commentary on that detail that explains how it answers the question.

Text-specific question:
