Active Reading Monday

• Standard(s) 2.2 Reading for All Purposes: Engage in a wide-range of nonfiction to complete a task

• Objective: you will be able to engage in a non-fiction text in order to identify, exemplify, explain, and respond to the title & author, purpose, audience, main idea, supporting details, and craft.

• Relevance: If you understand how an author uses craft tools to form a purpose for a text, then you will be able to choose the mode of writing and conventions to best achieve your own purpose.

Instruction: Obtain We Do Monday

(Title/Author/Purpose) of Step 2 of the ARG 2. Compare your written responses to mine3. Ask clarifying questions4. Repeat through to Craft• Outcome: an understanding of how to use and apply the ARG

to a text

Instruction: Obtain I Do – We Do Friday

Step 2: Taking Notes in My Composition NotebookTitle/Author/Publication: The author is unknown, but I am inferring it is a college professor because it is written in a book (page 1, introduction) directed towards students of college writing and reading. I expect that this will help me prepare for college while I am still in high school.Purpose: The purpose is to inform the student about active reading skills in order to become a better writer. The 2nd paragraph lets me know that the author is trying to help the student solve the problems that new college writing students have. Audience: The primary audience is a college student, but anyone who wants to read and write better would probably benefit. I am younger than the intended audience, but I do plan to go to college and have to write well for my Honors class that prepares me for college. I would guess that the audience is not intended for anyone much younger than myself. College students are probably motivated to do well in college because it will help them find a career, and they are paying for the classes; this text should help them do well in any class with reading and writing.

Instruction: Obtain I Do – We Do Monday

Main Idea: The main idea of “… Active Reading…” is that active reading is important to learning how to write well. According to the article, if you practice your active reading skills and learn to read actively, it will improve your writing because reading provides critical writing models.Supporting Details: • A reader needs to see examples of writing.

• A reader should observe what others writers do in their writing because these can serve as models.• A reader should evaluate the ideas an author presents and how he/she presents them in order to

“think like a writer.”• Active reading “requires full attention”: sit up, read with a purpose, think about the writer’s

thoughts, annotate the text, take notes about the text. Craft: • The writer starts the introduction with a comparison: aliens missing the finer points about being

human is similar to how beginning college writers are uncertain about the finer points of writing an essay. Other comparisons are used in the article: holding a paper up to the light to see ideas and passive reading is like watching t.v.

• The author divided the article into sub-titled sections: Active Reading and Ways to Read Actively. The first explaining what active reading is and why it is important, and the second sharing five blocked out examples of active reading. A model of what annotation looks like is provided at the end to show the reader what an annotated passage looks like.

• The author uses 2nd person point of view, instructionally addressing the reader as well as inclusively allowing the reader to feel part of the writing community. • The author uses repetition (we read… you need) to emphasize this.
