Close Reading
As Social Studies students begin reading primary texts, they will need reading skills they may not be accustomed to using when reading their social studies textbooks. To read historical speeches, diaries, and letters requires reading like a literary critic. Close Reading exercises are a staple of the study of literature, teaching students to pay attention to the literary elements of text that con ey a writer!s attitude toward a topic. A close reading can be performed on indi idual texts, but to help students see the importance of paying attention to the literary elements of primary source documents, select two passages that offer distinct perspecti es on the same topic. "hen students are first learning close reading, short passages are best. #ou might use this acti ity before students read longer texts, particularly if the texts present arious perspecti es on the same topic. Step 1: $athering data $i e each student a copy of the text, and instruct them to read with a pencil, pen, or marker mo ing% underlining, highlighting, and writing questions as they mo e through the text. They should note any words or phrases that seem important, that surprise them, or that they do not understand. They can use a simple set of symbols &question marks, exclamation marks, plus and minus marks' or write comments as they read. Step 2: (aking obser ations about the data )nstruct students to examine the words and phrases they ha e annotated in the passages. "hat unusual language do they see the authors using in each text* +ow do these words shape the reader!s response to the topic* "hy did each writer make the writing choices he,she made* Step 3: )nterpreting the data After thinking about the data and considering the choices made by each writer, students are ready to make a statement about each author!s perspecti e or about the de ices each writer employs to influence the audience. To support these statements, students will ha e e idence in their annotated copies of the texts. Close Reading is an acti ity that can take students from reading to writing. As they find the most important features of the text, they also theori-e about the meaning of the text. Reading text closely, finding the most important element in texts, and interpreting the text are processes that prepare students to formulate thesis statement and support their positions with e idence.the essential features of good interpreti e writing.

Anticipation Guides
Anticipation $uides prepare students for reading new material and,or listening to introductory lectures o er new material. This acti ity is particularly useful when you are preparing to teach content that students may already know about.and may ha e some misconceptions about8 The beauty of the A$ is that it begins by ha ing students state what they already think about the topic and then gi es them an opportunity to re ise their thinking. The questions on the A$ make students more focused readers of the text. A$s also require students to cite e idence to support their original or new position on the facts presented in the text. After completing an A$, students ha e excellent notes o er the material. A$s help students learn to take better notes by ha ing them not only write down main ideas but also e idence for those ideas. /egin by con erting the most important information from the text into short statements. These statements should challenge preconcei ed ideas and pique student interest in the material. 1ext, present the statements to students.either on a screen or board &for them to copy' or on a prepared handout. $i e students a response option &Agree or 9isagree'. After students complete their responses, you might ha e a class discussion of their responses or ha e students discuss their responses in small groups. #ou could e en poll the class for answers and gi e percentages of agreement,disagreement for each statement. &These percentages can later be compared with correct answers.' 1ow the students are ready to read the material, watch the ideo, or hear the lecture. As students interact with the material, they should be trying to determine whether their pre:reading responses were correct, ad;usting their initial responses as needed. They should also gather e idence to support both their correct and incorrect responses. Students may read in small groups &perhaps the same group with whom they first discussed pre:reading responses' or indi idually. After students complete the A$, begin discussion by asking what surprised students. Ask students to share before and after responses as well as their explanations. As students discuss their final responses, the instructor can address any confusion or misunderstanding students still ha e.

What is it "hen students are gi en DdenseE reading material, they often become frustrated and remark, D) read it, but ) don!t get it8E or D) didn!t know what was important and what wasn!t.E <or many young readers, this frustration builds and they approach difficult texts feeling defeated before they e en begin. Fne strategy we can use is to pro ide a framework for the reading by creating a focus on the key concepts. The process in ol es identifying the key concepts as they read, putting those concepts in their own words and explaining why the concept is important and,or making connections to other concepts. What does it loo! li!e 2sing this strategy requires helping students to use a number of textual clues that will help them determine the key concepts in a reading. Some elements that will aid students in the identification of key concepts are% 4xamining the text structure for any elements that the writer,publisher may ha e used to indicate ma;or di isions in the sub;ect matter &e.g. titles, subtitles, bold headings, and supporti e graphics or isuals' Determining which sentence in a paragraph is the topic sentence; as texts get more sophisticated, students need to recognize that frequently it may not be the first sentence in the paragraph. Learning to identify statements that forecast main ideas or key concepts that will come at some point later on in the reading. Recognizing that transitions may sometimes help to identify a main idea or a possible shift in the writers thinking. (e.g. when compared to, or another possibility is, or in contrast, etc.) Examining the summary statements in the paragraphs and/or the conclusions that summarize each section of the reading may help to verify and condense the main ideas or key concepts. 3ro iding models and guided practice where students ha e opportunities to identify and explain the abo e elements is crucial. Fnce students can understand and recogni-e these elements, pro ide them with sections of the current text they are reading and ha e them practice independently as preparation for the next class. As students become more proficient in recognizing these elements as they read, a powerful addition is to have them identify these elements in their own writing.
