  1. Literature: Monday, January 28, 2013 Handouts: * New Independent Reading Chart for Jan. 28 – Feb. 3 Homework: * Read AR book 20 - 30 minutes daily & record progress* K-W-L Chart (in class) and Lit book p. 550, #1 – 7 Assignments Due: * Independent Reading Chart for Jan. 21 – 27

  2. Today’s Goal: Learn about Abraham Lincoln and biographical material as we read and analyze “The Mysterious Mr. Lincoln (see Lit book pp. 544 – 548 & 550). Outcomes: Define the term “metaphor” and identify examples from “The Mysterious Mr. Lincoln.” Apply the skill of previewing before delving into today’s biographical excerpt. Activate “prior knowledge” as you preview today’s reading. Demonstrate your ability to use a K-W-L chart while reading biographical material. Identify clues from the text that reveal Lincoln’s character qualities. Define “colloquialism” and cite examples of dialect that reveal how Lincoln spoke.

  3. Starter #1: Take out a sheet of paper and create a full heading—name, date, class period. Divide your paper into thirds length-wise so that you have three columns. At the top of each column, write: KWL What do those letters stand for? What you KnowWant to know Learned from the reading To do a KWL chart correctly, the first two columns must be done before you begin reading. This is also a timed activity. When I say, “Go,” write as many things as you can in column one, then stop.

  4. Starter #2: Do we have any photography buffs (experts/hobbyists) in this class? Abraham Lincoln is one of the earliest Presidents for which we have actual photographs. Does anyone know what famous photographer was credited with most of the Lincoln photos we have? Matthew Brady, who was also famous for his Civil War photography. Before Matthew Brady, there were two Frenchmen who are credited with the earliest form of photography. Painter Louis Daguerre and scientist Joseph Niepce invented the daguerreotype, a process for taking photos that required the subject to remain perfectly still for several minutes. Today’s excerpt comes from a book that is an award-winning “photo-biography.” Check it out! Turn in your Lit book to p. 544. . . .
