Have the students skim/scan the activities and texts to find a Wow (an activity that looks interesting) and a Whoa (an activity that looks challenging). Share responses in partner, small-group, or whole-class discussion.
INDePeNDeNT reaDING
In this half of the unit, students
will have the opportunity to read humorous texts in addition to classroom reading. Humorous essays, poems, and short stories are recommended. The Planning the Unit section of the Teacher’s Edition and the Resources section of the Student Edition contain information, Reading Logs, and Reading Lists to help you and your students make a selection. Independent Reading Links in the Student Edition will prompt students to actively respond to their reading, and responses will be recorded in their Reader/Writer Notebook or Reading Logs. Independent Reading Checkpoints have been placed prior to each embedded assessment to provide formative check-ins.
TO Teacher
The SpringBoard program has
been designed to allow students
to interact with the text by making notes in their books and marking
text to facilitate close reading. In addition to making notes in the text, students are expected to use their Reader/Writer Notebooks often: for vocabulary study, answering text- dependent reading comprehension questions, reflections, some writing assignments, notes in response to the Independent Reading Links, capturing thoughts about learning strategies and how to use them, and so on. The Reader/Writer Notebooks are not listed as part of the materials for each activity, but the expectation is that students will have access to them.
