under one of the subheadings in the section Theories of Funniness. Group members can work together, or each member can take different paragraphs to work on before getting feedback and additional suggestions from other group members. Students at the Emerging level can work on paraphrasing the information under the subheading Release Theory. Provide this group with additional instruction to aid in understanding and expressing themselves
as they work to complete the graphic organizer. Students at the Expanding Level work to paraphrase the information under the subheading Superiority Theory. Bridging level students can work on their own to complete the graphic organizer for the heading Incongruity Theory. Explain that to complete the heading at the top of the left column of the Paraphrasing Map Graphic Organizer, students should just write in “the author” or “Nobleman” so that the question reads: What does the author say? Or What does Nobleman say?
8 When students are finished, have volunteers share their work with the class. Use this opportunity to assess students using the rubric that follows.
assess
Use the following rubric and sample student responses to formatively assess students’ ability to understand the Interacting in Meaningful Ways skill: Exchanging Information and Ideas.
Emerging: With substantial support, are students able to paraphrase the main idea of the essay?
Student example: The main idea is that everyone likes to laugh. Expanding: Are students able to identify the main idea and several
supporting details of a text?
Student example: The main idea of the essay is that all people like to laugh. The author supports this idea by giving information about jokes.
Bridging: Are students able to independently paraphrase the main idea and details of the text?
Student example: This text is about humor. The author’s main point is that everyone likes to laugh, and he talks about statistics to support that idea.
adapt
If students need additional help paraphrasing, provide them
with short, familiar stories or texts. It’s important that students are already familiar with these texts. Ask broad questions, such as: What is this story about? Tell me what happens in this story. Students should be able to do this with a familiar text. Explain that this is an example of paraphrasing—retelling the important ideas in their own words.
